A Sticky Subject....

 This week we have started to make fabric covered boxes. It will take more than one evening to finish, but most got off to a good start.

Maggie measured out her fabrics and carefully cut, ready for applying to the card stock

cream for the lining

 Jackie was steaming ahead with her small box

 Beverley got one of the sections completed, and a bit more besides

lovely Christmas fabric

 Linings all pegged down to dry

 And Rosemary with a pot of glue is always good for a laugh.......

neatening corners - very bright fabric

PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN!!!

 It seems that these kits do not have the very comprehensive instructions or even card lining pieces that we have had when we got the kits from The Needleworkshop, but they no longer supply the kits, so we will have to learn to live with it.

There is a variety of shapes and sizes and they will look lovely - honest!

We will see the completed boxes in a couple of weeks.

 Meanwhile we have a finish!  This is a baby tote bag with internal pockets to carry all the trimmings that come with a new baby. They wont loose this one, will they!

 And Bernice ----- is sewing some knitted shapes into what she THINKS is a penguin, but don't hold her to that! Promise to show next time.
