Fran is a passionate beader. In this little workshop Fran shares with us how to make fabric and paper beads. She suggests you can use fabric from your major project so that the beads co-ordinate.

They are so easy that it’s something you might like to try with the children – particularly the paper ones (just add glue!!!) Watch Now+

Bags of fun in a bubble

We love hearing your stories that you share. Viv contacted us recently to say what a lovely quick simple bag of Jennie Rayment’s video was and so easy to create a ‘boxed’ bottom. It was extremely timely as she was looking after her granddaughter, Florence, who is nearly 5 and in their bubble.

Viv says “Florence loves sewing and I’m so keen to capture this enthusiasm. I had some fabric crayons so armed with plain calico she drew pictures which I then ironed fast, and then we made into a shopping bag for her mum. I’m not sure why the submarine is in the drawing but who knows what goes on in a four year olds mind!!. Her
mum was still thrilled with it! Such a delightful afternoon.” We’re sure you’ll agree – bags made with lots of love and fun. Well done Florence and Viv! See more+
