Cutting Edge

Some of the members of the Cowbridge S&B group have set up a new textile group called Cutting Edge, which meets the second Wednesday of every month between 10.00am and 4.00pm  in the village hall in Llanblethian, Cowbridge.

Today, courtesy of Hilary, one of the members, we  had a go at dyeing fabric in a yoghurt pot – which was great fun – just need to turn it into some classy piece of craft work now!

Here is Pam showing off her method of fabric dyeing

The next meeting is on Wednesday 13 June – if you would like to join us contact Pam Stead (after 5.00pm) on 01446 772965.

Crafts for Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan

Some of the group have been making craft items out of fabric donations to Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The items will be used for fundraising. Below are a few of the items that we have created.

Successful Afternoon Tea

The afternoon tea went well and we raised a staggering £750.00 for St Gerrard’s School in Lesotho. We would like to extend a BIG thank all those who supported our event – local villagers, teachers and parents from Lakeside school in Cardiff, and of course all the Stitch and Bitch members, and some of their husbands and family.

The teachers visiting from Lesotho were overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and reported that the money raised will enable them to buy essential equipment such as books and desks.
