Four sewing enthusiasts brought along their latest projects for our last get together for 2013. One participant thought that quilted jar covers looked pretty easy but they turned up a few challenges which our trusty FOML sewing expert eventually tamed after some discussion and persistence. Another regular participant finished off a pair of pants for herself as well as making a couple of pairs for her child. One of our regulars did manage to make a pattern from a top that she likes amongst much socialising. Another of our participants who had the joy of buying bunches of batik in Bali, now has the challenge of converting these fabulous fabrics into a quilt, so embarked on cutting a few patches to get the project under way.
Many thanks to my library buddy who stood in for me and looked after our sewing devotees so well.
Wishing you all every success in sewing over Christmas and we'll meet again at 1 pm on 22 Febrary 2014 full of new ideas and projects!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2014!
A sewing tip! Keep using your needles and thread through the humid summer to help prevent the development of rust! Well, any excuse..............
