Sewing and Knitting

Margie was really pleased to spend time sewing with Aoife and Val last tuesday at Chez Margie.

Aoife took to the machine very quickly and was sewing her first ever project in no time. Just look at how beautiful her fingernails are.


Val brought along her new sewing machine and quickly set to work making a log cabin square.


They had a wonderful evening of threading, measuring, cutting, ironing, Bernie too joined in while she was knitting her socks, all laughing and having fun.

Looking forward to the next evening in two weeks.

Doll Making Group

The new year crafting got off to a prolific start with a wonderful group of enthuastic and energised women of all ages. Sheila kept the steam irons going and helped Jemima with the pattern making and fabric cutting.


Iris fresh from having finished making a wedding dress inspired everyone with her choice of colours. Detta (who brought along her beautiful original singer machine) and Fiona paired up together to work on their dolls.


Cait, Marianne and Eilish worked in partnership and kept everyone's spirits up with their witty banter and their happy mood.


Margie ensured that everyone kept up with the busy pace. Rosemary filled her doll with loving care, concentrating hard on the job in hand.


By the end of the day the group assembled a beautiful group of Ladies in spectacular dresses.

Well done one and all, truly a day of fabulous creating, a joy to be part of.

Muzzy's Crafts

Muzzy spent some time relaxing and knitting in the studio today while Margie was catching up on some housework.


During the afternoon Muzzy wanted to try some sewing,she cut a small square, and then spent some time learning about the workings of the machine, the on off switch, threading the needle, the bobbin, the foot, the correct position of the fingers and hands, what to avoid to ensure safe use and finally the pedal and speed.



Before long she was sewing her first little lavender cushion.



She added a ribbon and a button and filled the cushion. She was so happy with her work.


When she grows up she wants to have a Muzzy's Crafts.

What a wonderful compliment.
