Show and Tell - Crafts2Share


I had a lovely evening with the ladies of a local craft group.  I was invited to show the ladies my work and to demonstrate how to make a corsage or wristcuff.  The members had been dyeing fabrics at an earlier meeting and some had brought those along with them.  I took my Inspiration Packs along and some were used in the creation of these lovely pieces......

 
 
 
 
a needlecase complete with blanket label
 
 
shades of red corsage
 
raggedy neutrals
 
beaded bridal piece
 
beautiful greens
 
this one reminds me of a pansy
 
beaded layers
 
rose pink with a hint of grey
 
 
Lots of chat and cups of tea and coffee were consumed in the making of these lovely pieces of work. The very enjoyable evening came to an end all too quickly.  Until next time .. Jayne

    Your ladies, created beautiful corsages , dear Jayne- I would have loved to be there, too, to sew and chat with you. Great idea, to bring your inspiration packs.
    Hope your weekend was lovely.

    I feel that like me you probably have your own privat 'scrap' store!
