Monday 9th May
By way of preparation for all the summer schools and workshops that are up and coming, we spent a lovely day in the company of Charlotte Meek from The Stitch Society learning how to make her fabulous aprons.
Charlotte understands the needs of a crafter; she is an accomplished designer-maker herself and knows that having a comfortable and practical cover-up is an essential whilst working on projects. The apron features a roomy pocket at the front and cross-over straps (no messing with apron-strings that constantly come un-done!). The workshop was so poplular that we had to run two sessions and one person even came back for a second apron.
The Stitch Society website features a range of apron designs including smaller versions for children and they will also be on show at Yarndale and the Country Living Christmas Fair at Harrogate.
Our thanks to Charlotte for a thoroughly enjoyable day and some beautiful aprons.
