A RIGHT ROYAL WOOLLY WAVE
Stitch London has been invited to contribute two voluntary workshops to Prince Charles' 'Garden Party to Make a Difference' for his new Start charity.
The Garden Party runs from September 8 to 19 from 10am to 6pm.
Join Stitch London for workshops on 8 and 14 September
WEDNESDAY 8 September – STITCH A SQUARE SHEEP Join Stitch London on a mission to stitch a herd of handmade sheep from reclaimed yarn and abandoned second-hand stashes. Stitch your sheep from a single knitted square and second-hand fabrics which have been donated to us by John Smedley, one of Britain's oldest knitwear companies, to give a whole new life to woeful wools.
Take your handsome herbivore home with you or add him to the Handmade Herd art installation to help prove that knitting is more than just scratchy socks, dull doilies and oversized sweaters.
TUESDAY 14 September – PLASTIC BAG BUGS AND BLANKETS Learn to turn your waste plastic bags into picnic-perfect waterproof blankets and whirling wind-dancing butterflies and bugs with our 'plarn' workshop. We'll teach you to turn a simple plastic carrier bag into yarn to knit with.
The 'plarn' can be turned to practical uses by creating a square-by-square multicoloured waterproof picnic blanket, or get buggy with butterflies and bugs that make perfect garden wind dancers.
