This was my first time stepping in to be the facilitator of the Social Sewing Saturday, I was made to feel very welcomed by this friendly group of stitchers. As I had no sewing projects under way I used the opportunity to complete a project that I had tucked away since the beginning of the year. Earlier this year I participated in a workshop through Artspace learning Indigo + Shibori fabric dying, the idea was to stretch the fabric I had created over a canvas to create a canvas art work. After much finessing with the staple gun I was able to move forward with this project.
A few ideas were given forward by SSS members, one was the idea of welcoming fabric crafters of many other disciplines. It's ideas like these that let a group grow and change to meet the wants of the community that they are apart of. Here's to welcoming more ideas.
We'll catch up with everyone and their projects at the Community Meeting Room at the Gordon White Library at 1.00pm on Saturday 29th October.
Until then happy sewing.
