Lunch time knitting






Leiny, Margie, Edel, Teresa and Andrea engaged in a spot of lunch time knitting last wednesday. Needles were clicking at a rate of knots as old skills were revived and remembered.

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.

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.
