If you have bags of scraps that are bursting at the seams, this is a perfect project for you!
This is a Level 3 class – it is suitable for those who have used a sewing machine before, can confidently thread the machine and bobbin and have sewn several projects before.Please get in touch if you are not sure whether this is a suitable level for you.

Having made thisentirely from fabric pieces in my stash and then filling it with scraps, it is very satisfying to put them all to good use. You can also top up the filling with old clothes, blankets, towels etc. It’s a great project for combining lots of different skills too.“
