Tassels Workshop

Yesterday was a lovely day spent with the ladies at Mayhill Textiles. Jeanette who is also a member, gave us a workshop on tassel making. The photos really don't do them justice. We all used exactly the same techniques but because we used different materials they all look very different.

This is a picture of our tassels on the day. They have not been trimmed yet, they need to be left to settle. Mine is the blue one and also needs to settle because the outside strands are crooked. Click on the picture to see a larger version.



This is a picture of my tassle taken the next day. It still has not been trimmed but you can see that the strands are now a lot straighter. Click on the picture to see a larger version.

Brooches

Yesterday was the monthly Mayhill Textiles group meeting. Jenni showed us how to make quick and easy brooches. I think I will put mine on a bag. If you are reading this, thanks Jenni.

Wrapped Bowls

A couple of weekends ago, I went to a workshop at Mayhill textiles, run by one of our members, Jenni. We wrapped fabric around nylon washing line and then stitched it by machine to create bowls. My "bowl" is about 9 inches tall. We had a great time. I am making a shopping basket now.
