On Saturday, May 5, 10:00 a.m. to noon, children, women, even men, are invited to join us in the Parish Hall for some beginning handwork instruction.
Beginning Crochet will be taught by Margi, our own in-house, gifted needle artist. We will have crochet hooks and yarn available for use; feel free to bring your own supplies as well. (A “G” hook is a good size to begin with.)
Joyce, an accomplished seamstress, will teach us how to Make a Patchwork Potholder which you will be able to take home with you. We will have fabric scraps, hot pad fabric, and some sewing machines available. Feel free to bring some of your own supplies such as fabric, scissors, sewing machine, thread, needles, etc.
If you have a sewing machine you’re not sure how to use, bring it along and we’ll see if we can help. We can’t make repairs, but we can probably figure out how to thread the machine and bobbin, adjust minor tension problems, replace the needle, etc.
Those of us involved in the St. Mark Crafting Group are each passionate about some area of handwork and are excited to have the opportunity to share these interests with others. Join us for a morning of fun and learning. There is a sign up at the church so we can get an estimate for supplies and refreshments; however, if you wake up on the 5th, realize this is a great way to spend Saturday morning, please join us, whether you’ve signed up previously or not!
