The Drunk Sewing Club - This is the title that was used to describe our occasional bring a bottle evening session at Chertsey Museum - I protest!!
Tonight we were making tote bags from pillow cases, some of the ladies wanted more precise instructions than I was giving, but the wine did help them losen up!!!!
So they had this as their sample
And a choice of pillow cases, and they got sewing
and managed seven very presentable finished, or almost finished, bags
And a few empty bottles!!!!
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.
A very clever and useful bag. And it can be used to carry a bottle or two to the next session!
