Scrappy Bear Workshop with Sandi Millichip

From Sandi...

"If you're anything like me and love the variety that crafting brings, then you'll be left with a box of beautiful scraps of material that's just too good to throw away. This is where Scrappy Bear comes in. He is made from an assortment of your much loved fabric scraps. So when he is sat by your sewing machine you'll remember all the lovely things you have previously created. He can be made from almost any material. Be inspired to create your own bespoke, unique Scrappy Bear!"
