Not a particularly creative time of the year for me - but loads of stocktaking and housekeeping done in the Reworked workshop. Most of our fabulous volunteers take a bit of a well earned rest. I put the Overlocker to the test by making some cute fingerless gloves - wooly ones and a sheer evening pair and promptly broke a needle! For the machine nerds amongst us - the Rewoked Pfaff Overlocker takes specialist needles and can I locate any? You guessed it no I cannot. I also managed rather a cool party dress size 6 - but forgot to take a photo of it. The shop now has Wifi. We have had loads of really good donations of fabric and some new vintage patterns.
Currently the Oxfam Shop in Caversham is running a sale on its clothing and many reworked items have been reduced to half price. Well worth a visit.
See you all in 2014 when I promise to get stuck into some jumpers and pixie coats as the weather promises to get a lot colder.
