Four Corners Day

Once or twice a year we have a day where each section of the room will "teach" a small project. We usually do one project in the morning and one in the afternoon, with a choice of which "corner" you will work in.  This time, we decided that the whole room would be able to complete all of the projects in the day so away we went.

This doesn't bode well for the day?

The first project was a small plastic fronted zipper pouch. Nothing too taxing here?

About 7" long.

How wrong could you be!?!  What should have taken about an hour took three! Trouble from the usual suspects causes chaos through the room.

You know who you are!

 Far too much chatting and giggling goes on in some places. Anyway, we just about finished the pouch before lunch.

Zip is in and now just top stitching

 

So after some of this

and a slug of this, 

we got on with the other three items.

Maureen showed us how to make a book cover. This took no time at all (for some).

 And then Ena had a sensible moment and showed us how to make some pretty little birds.

Muriel has a whole flock of them

These can be strung together too

Ann has joined hers

Then after Lynda had had a little nap

she had had a tough morning!

 Well she had been busy .....

I think she had hoped to get the binding on today!

 We carried on and made a stripy bag. This pattern can be found here. Its called a Sweet Treat Bag

Muriel nearly finished

Toni made hers with Jelly Roll strips

Carol used the 1½" strips

 

So all in all we had a good day and did produce some pretty little things.
