Kenny The Kookaburra

You might remember Kenny the Kookaburra was apart of our school holiday program. Well he's one popular bird! This is one of the many Kenny's that one of our wonderful volunteers - Julie has made. We decided to take him outside for his own little photo shoot!

Owl Pillow

Owls are a popular at the sewing group and this is one adorable owl print! All the ladies wanted to know where to 

buy it....good old spotlight!

Bunny

Brigid the master mind behind Percy Pig has moved on to this adorable bunny.

Can't wait to see what stylish outfits Miss Bunny 

gets to wear!

 

Coster

This cute project is a coaster for hot items.

 Filled with rice and cloves, so it smells great 

when heated up.

Autumn School Holiday Projects 2012

Here is Kenny himself! What a handsome fellow!

We found Kenny in this mag.

Hope to see you there!

Retro patterns

The problem with retro patterns is that they are hard to find in good condition or cost a mint. 

Thankfully the pattern companies are reissuing some of the oldies. 

I picked up these two the other day.  I was in a 40's mood!

From 2012 the Multicultural Women's Sewing Group is happy to be supporting a Somali women's beginner sewing class.

They meet Monday, Thursday and Saturday at the Elderly Citizens Club in Melrose St North Melbourne, from about 5 pm to 8 pm, and need volunteer teachers in sewing and knitting. Basic skills are enough, and they are keen learners. Our teacher will also be there once or twice a week.
