Three guinea pigs, one weekend, lots of fabric, wine and chocolate, little cash and my catering (oh dear the dry fried cumin seed) - in short my first Make Do and Mend weekend.
Techniques varied. Rose - brisk and efficient and building in sun-bathing sessions - completed six cushions and a tea-cosy. If I had not begged her to make some cheese scones she would have achieved place-mats as well.
She took a very firm line with `Mr Mason' criticising his button-covering technique and challenging the accuracy of his 18" cushions!
But what an achievement!
Jane had a few depths-of-soul moments with her white chair........ She and her spray paint were bannished to the bottom of the garden, which thrilled the chickens, especially when she put on the face mask - there was some considerable jostling at the garden gate.
Matt black paint and a bold print from Ikea were used to drag the chair into the 21st century. The cushion fought back, revealing layer after layer of floral fabric. But Jane persisted.........
and emerged triumphant.........
Naturally I did let them out to play from time to time.
Chris, who joined us on Sunday, when chaos had engulfed the house and there was barely space for a cup of tea, took apart her Christmas Outfit and turned it into Christmas bunting
One happy bunny!!!
