Crumpets and crafting

[Or, CrafTEA no.2]

Sunday afternoon was the second edition of Craft Club - or what we've now rebranded CrafTEA (the tea is as important as the creativity... or creativiTEA! Ooh that's a good name too!). What better finale to the weekend than gathering some lovely ladies together to eat crumpets and make something? You may recall we played with fimo at the last one, and this time it was sewing, so I was more in my comfort zone and could play teacher to the others (when we move on to knitting, it's time for someone else to take the reins).

We made very simple make up bags, using this very easy tutorial. The perfect project for me to use the lovely vintage cosmetics-themed fabric that I'd been saving for a rainy day. I couldn't decide between blue and beige so made it double-sided. I lined it with interfacing to give it a bit more structure.

We've hatched a plan to work towards having a Crafty Christmas, so if you usually receive a present from me, start practising your happy face for when I give you a pot of jam...
