THECOLORG’s Memory Bear Making Workshop is a soft experience where participants will learn how to hand sew a simple special teddy bear using clothes, garments, or scraps that hold sentimental value to them. My goal for this workshop is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals of all ages can come together to share their stories and memories through this hands-on activity. By repurposing cherished clothing items into a cuddly handmade teddy bear, I hope to help participants recognize, preserve, and honor the memories associated with them. The workshop will be led by myself and designed for any level of skill. Guests will be provided with a pattern, basic sewing supplies (needles, thread, scissors, etc.), step-by-step instructions, and individual attention throughout the workshop. While participants would ideally bring fabric that is personally meaningful to them, I will also provide free scrap fabrics for use. At the end of the workshop, everyone will have a new soft friend to take home, gift, or travel with and create new memories!
