June's meeting was hosted by self confessed craftivist and upcycler, Grace Moore. Inspired by her mothers passion for patch work, Graces enthusiasm had no bounds for creating a huge variety of decorative items for her home, her family and to sell.
As an easy introduction into the world of patch work, Grace talked us through the principals of crazy patchwork. Just starting with a pentagon shape, we just needed to let go of our inhibitions go and keep sewing strips onto edges whatever which way they go! Everyone went home with a completely unique piece which can now be transformed into whatever we choose! Thank you Grace for a fabulous evening.

A big thanks to Emma for a fantastic evening of creative crafting.
We all pitched in to make our very own Ellingham and Kirby Cane WI themed bunting. Emma took us through template making and the fabric cutting process and everyone had a go at sewing up the triangles and pressing them ready to create the bunting. Member, Sophie then had the job of sewing all the triangles to the tape. Look out for the final result at the next meeting or our next public event. |
