a gorgeous Christmas stitching workshop

Last Tuesday evening saw the postponed stitching class at Writtle Village Hall. Sharon, Helena and Georgia were on hand to help us with the evening's projects, a reversible notebook cover and a robin-on-a-heart tree decoration. I haven't finished my robin yet, but here are some pics from the evening:

Chosen fabrics (this is the hardest part, there's always a basket full of pre-cut pieces, and they're all beautiful... picking just one from all of them is impossible!)


Ready to draw around

Stitched, turned inside out and showing my two gorgeous fabrics


Stitched up with a lace & button bookmark added


Sewing embellishments on the cover & inside


Finished! (and yes, I know it's a shocking photo but I was busy stitching, what can I say?!)


It was a fab evening, I swear crafting works as therapy! Very excited about the 2011 dates planned, there are lots of exciting things coming up to make :)
