On Friday I taught Junk Weaving Wall Art at Chrtsey Holiday Activities to a dozen kids, and several mums!!!
We started with a show box lid (thanks mummy) and cut notches and wrapped string, then delved into a pile of junk, and got weaving. Better instructions are on the Fun With Fabric blog, but here is one of the busier ones
And here is a mosaic of all of them
And some mums having a great time - just before I took this there were 4 of them weaving the junk treasures that their kids had found!!!!
As a group project we also wove some t-shirts: referred to as The Windmill, this will become a floor mat for the museum: I showed the first two kids how to do it, they taught the next few, and so on, until everyone had had a go!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family then!
