Have you always dreamed about sewing stuffed animals, but have been a little hesitant? Well this is the perfect class for you! This adorable, fun pattern by Funky Friends Factory will help you eliminate your fear while Gigi holds your hand along the way.

You will need this pattern ....keep reading first please. 

What's so cool about this pattern is that it doesn't have those complicated arms or leg joints making it much easier to sew. You can make your bear from cotton fabrics, canvas, linen or even from those baby clothes you have been saving for years. Don't want to work to hard coordinated your fabrics? Grab the KIT below.

I am super excited to teach this class because I remember the first time I made a stuffy and I did it all by myself. Too many joints to struggle with and I probably shed a tear or two, but I am here for YOU.

I am so glad you are joining my class. This is one of my favorite classes to teach. It opens the door into the world of quilting without feeling like you must know how to doodle. I hold your hand and help you with the walking foot and quilting several quilt sandwiches. This will be lots of fun!
