I am launching a brand new sewing club in Wolverton, the first session begins October 7th.
Classes are every Monday from 7 - 9.30 and Tuesday 12 - 2.30
Come along and learn how to create and decorate fabulous textiles for the home and family, make new friends and learn new skills.
All ages (13+) and abilities welcome.
Learn all the basics; how to use a sewing machine, make new items or customise/alter your own. Or, try your hand at Textile Art and learn how to embellish using creative techniques such as fabric printing, free machine embroidery and appliqué.
If you would like more information please ring me on 07876140154 or take a look at my website www.scissorsncloth@rocketmail.com (will be updated soon).

A trip to the theatre
I haven't been around for a while because I have had to finish my City & Guilds course which took up a lot of time. But I have finally finished it and I am glad to see the back of it. We started the course such a long time ago it seems and I was determined not to do my usual thing of leaving it all until the last minute. I did a little bit here and there but I still managed to get way behind.
This is my final piece for the City & Guilds Patchwork and Quilting course, it is approximately 1 metre square and I didn't think I was going to get it in my car when it came to dropping it off. Its in a 6 inch deep MDF shadow box so it stands independantly. The peacock is hand sequined, the scenery is layers of hand painted and quilted trees on organza to give the illusion of depth. The fabrics are hand dyed and printed with my own lino cut. If you look closely at the side panels they are printed with the traditional sad/happy theatre masks.
It was a lot of work, I can never take the easy route if there is a difficult one to go down!
I have no idea what I am going to do with it when my tutor has finished with it!!
