The class is small so every child/adult team gets plenty of assistance and encouragement. Non-sewing adults are welcomed and encouraged to bring their favorite child. The first class creates the stuffed toy Teddy Bear or Cat. Additional classes will create bedding, clothing and accessories for bear or other cherished dolls/animals. 
Gather your favorite child or grandchild and sew! Class Fee, including materials: $45.00
