Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight for our first meeting back after our summer break.

For our September meeting, we will be joined by Cristina (ex-Hackney Wicked Women) for a demonstration of pasta-making and lots of information about all the different types of pasta.

For all those joining us (all women welcome), don't forget to bring along a mixing bowl, fork and a container to take your pasta home. The event is going to be a hands-on experience, so aprons may be in order as well ! 7.15 pm start.

A band of happy crafters as the FGWI sewers came together today in the Forest Tavern for their monthly session. A bit of mending, a bit of embroidery, some photo journaling, a bit of knitting and lots of chit chat. Another fab session.
