Friday was Chertsey museum: a healthy number (eight today) of ladies who can mostly already sew, and I'm sure teach me as much as I teach them! A lovely group
One of the Chertsey ladies, Jenny, has been very firm with herself: all projects must be finished . . .and then she brings in the finished item for a bit of show and tell. It is starting to rub off on some of the others too
So last month was stained glass owls -These are Jenny's trio (fusible bias, needle turn and cut away). She made a padded wallet for A4 paperwork out of them. She used buttons for the eyes which I think worked really well, and added some star buttons in the sky
Deborah made a little bag to bring her scissors to the class, with one owl each side
And Carol finished this lovely chap (using buttons for the eyes again) with the cutest feet . . .
and then went on to make a fish
The general consensus was that they much preferred to fusible bias method - so that helps me decide what to take to Windsor Library for their go tomorrow.
Today the Chertsey ladies did foundation flying geese, but those pics can wait until tomorrow, I need to unpack today's stuff and pack tomorrow's and then get to bed!
OMG even Jenny forgot the beak!!!!!!!!!
