Product Details
The G Bees are the Birtish cousins of Wanna Bee (inspired by New Zealand's Buzzy Bee - created in the late 1930s and still a firm favourite today). The British flag is made up of the Scottish, English and Northern Irish flags. Wales was part of England at the time of adoption in 1801, which is why the Welsh flag is not incuded.
The pattern covers the 4 bees pictures - Jack (Union flag), Andrew (Scotland), George (England) and Patrick (Northern Ireland)
Special technique/s: i-cord
