Tuesdays Craft Club - BScit

Although Ilkeston Festival has now ended and the last session of BScit Craft Club was last week, it has gone so well we have decided to carry on! 

So this Tuesday 7-9pm at wash arts, bath street, inspired by the attached photo we will be looking at bag making.

If you would like to join us and have any fabric, (lining and outer, maybe an old shirt or cushion cover) ribbon, good scissors, interfacing, anything else you would like to include that would be great, otherwise there will be a small charge and a selection to chose from. 

You are also welcome to bring your own projects to show and/or work on. Hope to see you there, Kirsty @rustyfish
