Strings of beautiful bunting were created by all Makers at our first workshop at The gorgeous Curtain Shop in Summertown, Oxford.
Have a look at our photos and you will see the bunting is so very different and unique. One string will be brightening up boy's bunkbeds, another adding an elegant twist to a garden party and a third will be given as a gift to an unborn baby to welcome him or her home from hospital very soon, to describe just a few.
Sherrey showed different ways to make up bunting and a variety of bunting styles and everyone chose to do something different. Janet from The Curtain Shop was brilliant throughout the evening sharing some tricks of the sewing trade and tea and cake was enjoyed by all. Well it wouldn't be an Oxford Makers night without it!
For Sherrey and I, some of our Makers made our night with some amazingly lovely comments. One Maker said she had wanted a sewing machine for ages and now we had taken away her fear of sewing machines, she was going to treat herself. Another said she hadn't used a sewing machine in ages and then quickly whipped up a metre of bunting in no time on the machine and said it had all come flooding back. We really had a wonderful making evening with lovely people.
If you fancy joining us, we are holding our next craft FLASHMOB at The Curtain Shop on Thursday 19 July at The Curtain Shop, Summertown, Oxford. It's a free event and everyone is welcome. Please bring along anything you are mid-making or come and try one of our making projects. We'd love to see you there.
Best
Annie and Sherrey
