March Cr'After Dark - Jo White of Saints and Pinners.co.uk gorgeous Suffolk Puff Necklace

March Cr'After Dark was really memorable. I got to bring my entire (vast) collection of lovely fabrics along, to make a beautiful suffolk puff (fabric YoYo) necklace. Being a knitter/crocheter and not a sewing genius, I really thought i might be a hopeless case to teach fabric yoyo's to. To my delight, I not only enjoyed the night immensely but found them really easy to do. I chose a beautiful liberty print in Navy and Pink, made to celebrate the Quilt Exhibition at the V&A in 2010. What a fabulous night! I have posted a small selection of some of the gorgeous makes on the night. Check out Jo's Blog at http://www.saintsandpinners.co.uk/blog/?m=201008 for a guide on how to make the necklace and check out the gorgeous fabrics she and Fran have in stock! http://www.saintsandpinners.co.uk

Cr'After Dark February 2011

Kate McCully aided by her trusty hoard of funky socks and wonderful buttons, came along to teach us how to make Love inspired Sock Monsters, what a great night. 28 of us gathered in the pub for the Lovebug Monster Make, a cosy pub night in February to keep us going till the springtime looms. Here are a few of our finished monsters.
