Some preplanning of the Feast fundraiser for the Stitch group happened this session – some Stitchee’s came up with an idea to make love heart sewing kits and rocket ships too 🙂

There was also some skirt making and personal projects undertaken.

Have a Serger?

One of our co-hosts lent her Serger to The Stitch and we were at a loss at how to thread the needle (it has four reels gargh!!!!).

Thankfully a few new local members popped in and fixed it for us – hopefully they will become regulars but if they don’t then we need to bookmark this video at Creative Bug!
