This month we welcomed Helen McKenna with her decorated and embroidered shoes; samples of which you can see in the picture.
Helen explained that we could either decorate an existing pair of shoes or make our own from card and pelmet vilene. 
The first thing we did was to make our own fabric to cover our shoes.
The fabrics we created can be seen in the small pictures.
Once the fabric had been made we began to cover our shoes. Most members got as far as this and then took their shoes home to add decoration and the finishing touches.
Hopefully some completed shoes will be brought to the next meeting.Those members who took part in the workshop found it enjoyable and different to our usual workshops. One member is already looking for dancing lessons so that she can try hers out! Thank you Helen for introducing us to something unusual.
