| Here we all are, working away! There was plenty to do, all engrossing, and some time to chat! |
 |
| This is what I made: a "prodded" lavender bag (you can see the "prodder" - a wooden stick, like a pencil) and a "hooked" sample with the "hooker" ( a crochet hook). |
Our tutor, Debbie Hastings was very experienced and had plenty of examples of her work to show us. Pretty much everything she uses is recycled; mainly duvet covers and pillow cases which she buys in bulk from her local Devon Hospice charity shop, after they have been in the shop for a while and remain unsold. The "hooked" sample above was made using old T shirts. (She may have had an eye on the orange one I was wearing!). The fabrics are cut up into strips which are then inserted into the hessian backing, with some quite spectacular results - well, with a little practice!
An excellent day - we all put our names down for her next course!
And here is the finished lavender bag! A very easy and enjoyable occupation!
That looks great! Well done
