For those folk making masks or face coverings, I have been following the www.bigcommunitysew.co.uk tutorials and patterns. check out some links below and look on the tutorial page for some ideas and help.
This is a workshop repeat from November making handsewn fabric stars to hang as decorations and give as gifts. They look great rustic but we could smarten them up with Christmas fabric.
I am sure I have heard these called Somerset Patchwork before, plus there are versions made with ribbon instead of fabric as this saves time. Once you get into a rythm, these are stunning decorations.
Fabric storage boxes are fab! As we had a super time making fabric foldy boxes at the workshop this week! There are three ladies that enjoy each others company and love to make something each month. One lady has made rather a lot more at home and found some paper napkins to add as gifts so that’s her Christmas pressies sorted! We had fun with a candle sealing the ribbon ends and thankfully didn’t set fire to the shop in the process. We also found that ironing on interfacing was a better choice in making the boxes stiffer and more durable.
