We started the sensory blanket – also known as the fidget blanket.
Janet from the Rock Paper Scissors London group works as an Art Practitioner (Spiral Arts), and runs workshops for people with Alzheimer’s and Dementia related conditions.
It’s a great way to experiment with different textures and have fun with colours too
Creating this blanket is great fun for us and we hope the recipients will enjoy it too.
adding fabrics together that perhaps you wouldn’t normally if making clothing… but then again maybe you would!
dots, buttons and interesting adornments make this fun to make
An excuse to get the button tin out!
Someone making use of last weeks fabric bins we all made
Fluffy bits…
Cookies help the creative process
Stylish!
Stitching…
Feathers!
Great mix of textures, buttons and trims with bold blanket stitch
We will be continuing with this project (Janet wont be there as she is away but is back the following Saturday) and the Jean Bag project, plus you can always bring your own as always or just pop along to learn something new!
See you soon 🙂
Hi Tara, I’ve made 3 squares and almost finished 2 more, will bring them Saturday. I’ve sewn round the fabric baskets and will bring them as well to do the corners then place together. I can do a couple of hours on the 5th as early as possible as I visit mybrother in hospital in the afternoon. Do you need help at the portical loading on Saturday? Enjoy your day. Sue
