Xmas Decorations ...
Posted: 30 Nov 2015, 18:10One of the ladies I work with runs the sewing/fabric/embroidery classes and she kindly offered to do some taster sessions for the staff at dinnertime.
I had my first go with a sewing machine today - managed not to sew myself to the fabric !
They are about 2 1/2" high -two triangles of material, place together so the right side is inside, sew along two longest edges. Very carefully snip little bits out of the side making sure you don't cut where you have sewn up, turn inside out. Sew along the bottom placing a piece of ribbon folder in half (as with the red dotted ribbon in the pic), or a small piece of felt. Then sew a loop on top, in this case brown twine.
I miss next weeks session as I am on a course, but the week after I will have a go at the little flower brooches that we can make as well.
Another lady is going to teach us how to make little pressie boxes for small pieces of jewellry .. and later another "lady" is going to do a taster for knitting .. guess who ? lol I thought they were asking if I was interested in doing the tasters as a student .. it turns out they want me to do sessions as a teacher ! I think maybe some of my little knitties, or something simple like a mug hug?
