Mr Men and Little Miss Appliques.

This is the first one finished, ready to be ironed onto the couch in the school library. All the black has been sewn on and the heavy weight vliesofix has been added to the back. To give you an idea on the sizes, they are quite large, this one measures 42cms by 26cms.
I had a wonderful day yesterday, 2 young girls came for our very first Crafting Day. They made their own little miss appliques and a felt rose brooch. I forgot to take pictures, Luckily the mum of one of the kids took some using her phone so I will post them when I get them. They had a wonderful day and got as much out of it as I did. They are looking forward to the next one. We are going to have out Crafting Day on the 3rd Saturday of every month. They both went home with completed projects and one to make until the next time we meet. The plan is for them to make two of everything, one to keep for themselves and one to put in a box for gifts for friends and family. Amongst all the things they want to learn we will be making felt, making paper, and learning to knit and crochet and making dolls clothes.
