Okay so maybe it wasn’t quite as good as the Great British Sewing Bee but we certainly tried. Two friends and I got together to do a bit of sewing and we had a right laugh. I’m not the best ‘sewer’ (that really doesn’t look well written does it?!) in the world but I had a go fixing a few of my clothes. It was Sarah who pulled out all the stops though and altered everything that needed altering. She even made us a fabulous cushion at the same time.
Basically, the three of us got together as an alternative to shopping (we do love shopping) but wanted to do something a little different this time round. And sewing seemed like a nice option at the time.
We started off with tea and cake and eventually made it to white wine… after I cooked a delicious lunch of baked Greek omelette (I’ll share the recipe with you in a later post) – we had a blast, had a bit of a dance too (must’ve been due to the wine… although Christine didn’t even have any )! We had a couple of ‘mascots’ who spent the day in and out of our legs too, my lovely dogs Luna and Roxy 😉
Sarah modelled the remainder of the jumper after it had been made into a cushion 😉
What a great alternative to shopping! This reminds me of when I was a teenager… a few of us got together to make things using various bits of material.
