One of the great things about being a member of our Pattern Fan Club Facebook group is that you get access to some things that NON Members don’t have access to – like the Calico Bear SEW-ALONG Replay VIDEO, which is available for limited times throughout the year. IF you are in our Club you can watch me sew Calico Bear from start-to-finish, including doing button-joints. Club Members CLICK HERE to watch the Calico Bear SEW-ALONG replay in our Facebook Group!
