At the end of July we hosted a Sewing Bee event, attended by 20 sewing enthusiasts who enjoyed a day of challenges.

The team challenge was a great success, even though everyone was dreading this one! The theme was Festival or Garden Party and the teams were all given the same items to transform, they made festival wear, party wings, various games, bunting, capes and hats – the variety was incredible!

In the afternoon they were given an apron pattern, this was an individual challenge, they could embellish and add to their hearts content!

Everyone was given a slip to vote for their favourite team challenge, team item, most creative item and favourite apron.

An award ceremony with a glass of bubbles ended the day, Penny Hearn was crowned overall winner and there were lot of medals and cards handed out to celebrate everyone’s creations.

Thanks to all who attended and to our helpers on the day – Jude and Jemma and to Mimi and Georgie for all their hard work in helping making this event a huge success!
