Thankfully the snow kept off, we just had to avoid laying ice patches between the workshop bungalow & the Garden Centre.
After the few usual problems with their sewing machines, most of the students got going! Its great to see the light in peoples eyes, saying I CAN DO THIS.
A couple had slight problems, but after a quick limbering up & relaxing, they also got going on the basic skills of free machine embroidery.
After another nice lunch, they were all raring to learn the next exciting stages- the use of dissolvable fabric, layering, tyvek (my way) and the use of tights to produce embellishments. Lots of ideas to practice at home. Some of the students were so inspired, that they have already planned which direction to take these skills forward into.
Hopefully some of these ladies will sign on for my next workshop in March (not yet decided on what we will do-watch the blog)
Here are some photos of the students at work.

Hope you like the photos, everyone is very industrious, but more importantly they are enjoying themselves whilst learning.
