20th February 2021: Workshop on Containers

The lockdown led to the cancellation of our January Workshop (which will be rescheduled) but there was a good turnout for our February workshop, which was on constructing various types of containers.  
 
 
Theresa gave us a presentation on the types of containers which we could make and she was on hand during the workshop to give advice, so we all had a good time and produced a variety of containers. 
Some made simple zipped pouches and others made boxes or scissor keepers.  The red beaded purse 
was a kit which had been made by Helen.
 
 
 
The Young Embroiderers made belts decorated with sequins, which gave them the opportunity to try 
some simple machine stitching.
