Our first sewing class
Good afternoon friends and welcome to The Life Craft’s first blog post – it’s a pleasure to see you here!
Those of you who follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Flickr may have been granted a little preview of what we’ve been busy with lately but here is a better run-down for your delectation.
Last week saw us take The Life Craft on the road as Jenny and Vonnie headed out West to visit the achingly cool Konnie Kapow and her lovely amigas who had volunteered to test out our Tote Bag sewing class. Just to prove how lovely they were, they made us pizza and tea and CAKES! (which if I remember correctly were made by the lovely Nicole)
So of course we got off to a cracking start. Jenny had elected to teach the Tote Bag class which is aimed at beginners with a sneaky twist – during the class, attendees are taught how to master the beautiful French Seam. Unfortunately, we had only one sewing machine between five novices so Jenny and I are going to have to go back this Friday to help them wrap things up. I mean it’s such a hardship going to visit a super lovely girlie and her braw pals, have a giggle and a cup of tea or three 
Some photos to tide you over until the girls have finished their bags.

Profuse thanks to Connie for having us, to Jamie for pizza and tea, to Lindsey, Lucy, Cath & Nicole for being such excellent fun and to Jenny for being a great sport and working until 11pm on a Friday night. It was a blast and we can’t wait to run the next one 
I’m glad you had a good time, as I thought it was a bloody brilliant evening!
Looking forward to Friday, and its my turn to make the goodie bags!

Aww looks like it was fun – if you’re needing any more volunteers/guinea pigs then you know where I am!

I am pretty glad you left out the “right down jennys top” picture. Polo necks from now on! :p x
It looks like it went brilliantly! I am super jealous I missed the fun! Hurrah for the shop’s first class being a success!

That looks like great fun.
Thanks Vonnie! We had such a great night and can’t wait for the next instalment! Those cakes were truly amazing!
P.S. I sew!
