A Touch of Eastern Promise

This workshop was pretty intense and was led by our chair lady. Sari ribbons applied to felt with automatic sewing machine stitches, lined and card inserted inside - and joined in a 'special' way to make 'pop-up' boxes. Some lovely results.

January Workshops

Our normal practice for January is to have 'In-house' tutors in case the weather decides to be difficult and causes problems for tutors travelling any distance.

This January three members taught workshops entitled: A Touch of Gold, Hand Stitch Sampler, Secret Pockets.

Here are the examples of the high quality work in progress.

Warped Imagination

The latest workshop was most eventful - the tutor had a tyre blow out on the way to the venue and a pupil had a sewing machine catch on fire! Beautiful work though! Machined strips = woven magic.
