Bunting Bee

BUNTING BEE

Meaning – A small, informal social gathering based around the activity of making something with needles and thread!

Some years ago, a group of members made metres of bunting to decorate the marquee.  Sadly, much of it has now faded or is rotten! So, as the days get colder, I am proposing to run another Bee to titivate the existing bunting and/or replace it.

I have been collecting fabric, even on holiday!  All red/white/blue to give it a nautical theme.  Now I need some helpers!  As before you don’t have to be experts on the sewing machine, as there will be lots of other sorting, cutting out, and placing colours etc.  It will be as much a social event as a workshop!  Coffee will be available. The first meeting will be on Thursday 12 February at 10am – 1pm, upstairs in the Committee Room.  If you can bring good scissors for fabric that would be great.  

Some of you may wish to donate fabric you already have, and donations of cash towards costs would be most welcome too.  The stipulation is however just red/white and blue, cottons or polycottons, just geometric patterns, no flowers etc.

Perhaps you could contact me in the meantime so that I can get an idea of numbers. 

I do hope you will come along to see what it’s all about!
