'Scrappy, a Bear & Fibre Necklace'

                   

In this class you'll have a chance to make an small adorable teddy that can be admired on his own or attached to his beautiful fibre necklace.

This is a good project for any of you who save all of your scraps. Your instructor and master bear maker Kathy Myers will guide you through the process of taking small scraps of fur and bits of yarn and helping you to change them into something wonderful.

Create your own teddy bear necklace using material from your own fabric scrap box,  yarn bin, and my bead collection.
 

This course  is designed for intermediate and advanced students who already have a solid understanding of the mechanics of bear making.  A pattern is provided, however, given the multitude of choices that you can make when you create your clothing, your bear will be as individual as its maker!

The course is delivered as  a step by step conversational style scrolling text.  The text is delivered in Chapters, which are opened one at a time over a 45 day period.

The Scrappy course is an instructor led course with specific start and end dates.

There is NO supply kit.  Students are required to obtain their own supplies.  A full supply list is provided below.
