They have spent Tuesday mornings sewing together, learning new skills and making friendships.
They were a varied group - as all my groups are - of people on low incomes, people lacking self confidence and learning difficulties. They were such a lovely group!
5 women started as strangers and have left me with a whole raft of new skills, bundles of self confidence and friendships that have extended to taking trips out together. For women who have all the issues above I would say that is a job well done!
Yesterday I got them to bring everything they had made on the home textiles course with me, and I thought you might like to see!
We made funky chickens, pin cushions, peg bags, cushion covers, door stops and patchwork placemats!
I am extremely proud of these ladies and everything they have achieved both in terms of sewing and their new found friendships.
And I will miss them on Tuesday mornings... it was hard to say good bye....
Today is another goodbye to a group in Tewkesbury that I have been working with for 8 weeks.....
