Artist Phiona Richards is a firm believer in taking time to pass on skills and cleverly broke down making our Squares With Flair into three compact sessions.
We had drawn our designs and they
had been ironed onto the calico.
Our next task was to design and
cut out hands and feet from felt.
Our characters would also need
eyes, nose and mouths
Choices, choices - so many decisions,
many threads and much chatter!
In week three Phiona brought her beloved
hand-crank sewing machine Jones
and we had great fun learning how to sew
our seams together before adding the filling.
As you can see our Squares With Flair
have bundles of personality, just like our group!
