Isabella Crop 8 June 2008

How time flies … its that time again, next Crop Sunday 8th June 10.00am – 4.00pm.

The project/technique for the next crop will be stitching, “yippee” I hear some of you cry and “oh dear I cannot sew” cry the rest of you. Well it’s going to be nice and simple (as always), and just to be different there will be two different techniques, one using a sewing machine and the other hand stitching, so you have a choice or if your are really keen you can try both.

Supplies required for Hand Stitching
1 – sheet 12”x12” plain cardstock
1 - sheet 12”x12” co-ordinating patterned cardstock or paper
Cardstock pieces to mount photos

See you all on the 8th June … Jackie*
