18th May. Bag construction Workshop and YE

A study in concentration!

Helen had prepared very clear guidelines on constructing a bag, using a previously embroidered piece (Maureen's workshop) on the flap. The creation of continuous bias binding from a square of fabric, was a particularly informative exercise.
Only Janet managed to finish but most of us had completed the lined and pocketed body of the bag with D rings ready to receive the eventual strap.

Unique bags - would cost a bomb in a designer boutique!!

Meanwhile the Young Embroiderers joined us after lunch. They made a good start on a cross-stitch cover for a needle case, which they will complete on another occasion.


Next Stage


Some completed pieces from Lis Binns' workshop. Well done, Helen - come on the rest of you!!
