A Darned Good Time.

Yesterday, those Frillseekers girls hosted a mending party. A 'Make-and-Mend-Do', if you like. The idea came about because both Fran and I have so many 'projects' piled up and gathering dust in the corners of our homes: dresses that need shortening; buttons that need replacing; socks that need darning . . . the list goes on and on. And we figured we couldn't be the only ones, so we invited all our friends of Frillseekers to our studio to join us with their mending projects. And they came! Armed with knitting bags, sewing kits, crochet hooks and thimbles . . .

We provided threads, buttons, buckles, sewing machines, darning wool and numerous cups of tea. It was so much fun that we'll definitely host more mending parties in the future. These photos tell the story . . .
