Parent / Carer / Neurodiverse adults Memory bear making

I dont really have much sewing experience so was nervous about the project but I absolutely love the end result. Having the opportunity to spend time with other parent carers and have fun was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend the parent carer sessions

The bears that we made are lovely. Much bigger and more complicated than I expected. I found the day a little stressful as I was called out when I arrived for not having brought my material and cut it out beforehand, which made me feel embarrassed, which at 60 years old shouldn't happen. Once I had done that and got to the machine things went more straight forward. I wish there was an instruction sheet, because some of the steps were very straight forward so waiting for the instructor to come and show you the next step was a bit boring. Getting to chat with other carers was good and seeing everyone's own versions of the same bear was lovely. The bear is a lovely way to keep memories alive. All in all, not a bad session, but not for me.
