Bunting for the Green Patch Spring Fete Part 1

Sue at The Green Patch asked if we might be able to help create lots of bunting for the Green Patch Spring Fete so Carole showed us how to use glittery fabric paint, rollers, stamps and brushes to create our own lengths of fabric.

Once dry and ironed the fabric was cut into pennant shapes

ready to be sewn into lengths of bunting.

Our lovely Michelle made a beautiful crochet and appliqued line of bunting with letters spelling out The Green Patch and adorned with gardening inspired buttons. Here are Abby, Brendan and Holly proudly holding it out for us to see. Wonderful work!

Unusual Decorations!

We were delighted to join the lovely 

and very creative Phiona Richards

for a session to learn how o make

some unique tree decorations

from sink plug traps, which also gave us time

to consider how to protect our water pipes.

Phiona taught us how to choose then thread 

beads through the holes in the sink traps.

Here are some of the finished results.

Carole  was on hand to assist and to 

continue sewing our gift bags!

Design for a Thank You Card

Carole Miles took the images printed a few weeks ago and made some trial designs for the mosaic panels. Although they proved to be to detailed for the mosaic project, Lucy felt that the images would make lovely designs for thank you cards!
