Make/Do

Rainbows 🌈 lightning and flowers.

The modern stitch sampler. The Sewing Club were challenged to use as many different embroidery stitches as they could, and create a fun design to hang on their wall at home.

I was so proud of how they went for it and had a go at new things. They excelled themselves.

We've had a really fun term. I have a few projects yet to show you...

I'm really enjoying running a sewing&craft club at a local primary school. A fun group of girls who get stuck into making.

We spent a happy hour cutting triangles, which some then decorated with sparkles or stitch, to sew onto ribbon to make bunting for their school coronation celebration picnic lunch.

Next week: scrunchies...

Making coronation bunting for a lady who couldn't make it to the current Get Sewing course, but knew that meant she'd miss out on making the bunting in session 1.

OK, it's a bit of a fiddle with all the cutting, turning out and ironing, but basically we're just sewing straight lines so it's a perfect starter session for the first time you get the machine out of the box. Lots of practice at starting and stopping sewing, guiding the fabric, turning corners...

And we are all going to need bunting up for May 6th. Any excuse...
