See one, do one, teach one

Do you want a laugh? I am teaching a class.... a crafting class. It's a 'Tuesday Ladies' meeting at the church where Johnny an I attend toddler group. One of the toddler leaders asked me to do it ages ago and I had sort of forgotten I had agreed until she cornered me last week and asked what I was demonstrating. What on earth do you demonstrate to ladies of a certain age, three quarters of whom no doubt sew an awful lot better than I do?

I happened to be wearing this brooch which Monica made for me. I boldly said - "I could do a workshop for making these", and she leapt at the chance. Only one small snag, I hadn't actually made what I was wearing. In fact, until yesterday I had never made a brooch at all. But there are lots of great tutorials out there, right? So yesterday, while hubby had taken the boys walking, I churned out a few.

Hopefully it's mostly about the joy of choosing the fabric and button combinations anyway. They won't notice my less than perfect sewing technique will they?

Will they?

And if you have a moment to spare, pop over and say 'hi' to Jen. She has a brand new blog "one more minute please" and I have a feeling it's going to be a fun one. Tell her I sent you.
