It's shed day! If you have any fabric or zips to donate for pencil cases for Project Secret Santa, please bring them along tonight at 7pm, see everyone then

This Tuesday we are planning to spend the evening cutting and preparing fabric to make some pencil cases for Project Secret Santa. If anyone has any pieces of fabric or any zips over 20cm long that they would be happy to donate please bring them along. The plan then is to do a couple of weeks of sewing them all up so we can hand over a lovely pile of pencil cases ready to be filled at Christmas. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday evening at 7pm

Chloe was bored this evening and decided to trial a fabric corner bookmark for her stall at the Oliver's Battery Primary School summer fair. For a first attempt, it came out quite well! Would anyone be interested in learning how to make these?

Ladies of the shed, we are thinking this is something that some of you might like to be involved with. The lovely Gill has a pattern sge thinks would be perfect and some examples which she will be bringing to shed tomorrow night. If you would like to take part but aren't a confident sewer, do let us know, we may look to arrange some sessions on Tuesday evenings to help people master some of the skills needed.

Please share with your crafty friends, sewing groups, schools & Grans who own 14 sewing machines 😉🧵
