Social Sewing Saturdays back on schedule

Our 2014 SSS started off slightly slowly. The heat is obviously playing havoc with our creative capacity. Working on our projects in the delightful air-conditioned cool of the Gordon White Library Community Meeting Room certainly made sewing much more fun.

Our faithful FOML was there to show us how therapeutic pulling out can be and how even the most experienced sewers have to rethink and redesign their projects so that they achieve something they are happy with.

One of our regulars came complete with several projects on the go. Paper patterns for a future project were trimmed to the correct size, some fabric was sorted and a blouse alteration project  was advanced, all while participating in the fruitful exchange of information and ideas. 

Another of our regulars came as always with sewing machine and fabrics in hand and left with one  toddler's dress nearly complete and another begun. It is amazing how much can be achieved when there is so little interruption.

Another regular's cross-stitch project has now reached the outlining stage. It's amazing how a simple black line can give so much definition to a shape.

If you're itching to get stitching but not quite sure what project you'd like to work on, come in to our libraries and be inspired by our craft and sewing magazines or the many books which are full of ideas, illustrations and techniques.

Our next Social Sewing Saturday is on Saturday 29 March at Gordon White Library at 1 pm. See you there with your stitching!
