So Long, School Sewing

The Wednesday night sewing club at school has now come to an end, but I thought I'd show you some of the projects the ladies will continue to work on

Tara did some work on this bucket for her knitting

And Tracey brought in some fabrics she created some years ago for A'level textiles. She took them all off the display board and we fitted them together

.

I especially liked these steam punk wheel prints

and these hand prints

 

Sadly the course is finished, but I hope they will keep in touch and let me know how their projects finish

A Few new Friends

The new course at school Started this week: I had no idea how many to expect, but had three "can't come this week will be there next week" messages! In the end Niki came with me, and two lovely ladies came, so a slow start, but a lovely evening.

All set up waiting . . .

Kate brought a book of fabric samples she had got her hands on: we couldn't peel the stickers off, so she had a lesson on rotary cutting and pretty soon had them all cut to a usable size. This pic is lack and white as we were considering their values, but in fact they were all lovely: very calm creams, yellows, pale blues reds and greens. She got most of them sewn into strips before we left - lots of ironing to do next

 

Tara came with fabrics to make a bag for her niece, and has the bag planned and cut (and stitched and unstitched, but we shan't dwell on that!!!)

 

Niki also stitched - she's working on a charity quilt, but I didn't get any photos

New Windsor Class

I am planning to run a fun evening sewing class in Windsor from 15th January to 12th February: 

Finish something old, or start something new!

I am happy for you to bring projects you're working on; projects you've got stuck on; inspiration from items you've seen, or ideas that have sprung from your imagination.

I bring all basic sewing supplies & equipment for you to use, and have a range of fabrics etc that you can use at no extra cost.  If specific supplies are required I am generally happy to buy equipment, and I can suggest where you may find appropriate fabrics etc

Sewing At School

Saturday was the final school Fun With Fabric course for the summer.  We had a lovely morning and lots of squares got stitched together

And some got glued together instead!

But when you're 4 that's much easier than sewing!
