This class will demonstrate how to sew a Warren (aka Charity Bear) by Shiny Happy World from a felted sweater.

Warrens are very comforting, great to have around when you’re feeling anxious, or great to give as a gift. If you have an old sweater you’d like to use, bring it with you. Materials will be provided!

Machine and hand sewing skills required.
