Good morning class, please be seated quietly.
My name is Jodie and I am your teacher for today.
The selvedge snap purse - quick colourful and sure to be a hit for your school fete or Mothers Day stall...and yes of course you don't have to make it in selvedge.
PVC and paper wallets - a favourite I have to admit. These even passed the "what handmade gift to give a teenager" test. Quick, easy to adapt to different tastes and because they're PVC they do rate highly on the potential swearing chart.
Button rings and brooches, Yes I know you hardly need a class to learn this, but it might be a good class for those teen and tween girls who love a bit of bling. They could whip up the odd hundred of these and give them to all their friends.These are the three workshops I will be teaching at Stitches next week. There are heaps of workshops to choose from and also heaps and heaps of free studios that you can just turn up to.
I am almost kind of wishing that I was not a participant, so I could go to some of these workshops. I'd bust a valve to go to a screen printing class with the Ink & spindle team !!
Oh and by the way - 2,511 inches sewn...just for the ruffle.We are almost there !!!!!

When you are rich and famous, will you fly over to the UK and give us lot the chance to come to your workshops as well? Please? We are allowed to heckle the tutor, right? :-D x
Bloody blogger just ate my really funny comment! Plus I would have been first.
Do we really have to wait until you're rich? Can't you just come over here and do your workshops anyway? You're already famous!

And squeeze in a trip to Tassie on the way, not for a class but a glass of wine and some time to relax, you'll need it!
Oh I LURVE the selvedge purse... and those BUTTONS!
I'm hoping to get to stitches and crafts next week- I'll look out for you and come say hi :o)
oh I DO wish I could come along too, it's sooooooo not fair, tantrum tantrum tantrum!!!!poo bugger shit
Love the purse. Maybe we could have a tutorial?
I see you are not only obsessed with selvedge but also measuring how much you use!! 2,511 inches??
Love checking out your selvedge creations! Very cool.
So glad I don't have to make the purse out of selvedge as for some reason my house is completely devoid of it. Wonder where it all went?!
Love the selvedge purse.
Good luck with your classes. Hope they are a great success!!
Oh I am so jealous of all the wonderful stuff happening at the Melbourne Stitches show. I hope the Sydney one has some exciting stuf too.
I think you should head up here for it. I want to make button rings with you!
Wish I could take a class... Oh well! I am in love with those buttons!
I would love to do the Ink & Spindle workshop plus your selvedge purse one but I'll probably just end up going to the dinner...
Am I allowed to guess about the big project there? Is it something you sleep under?
Ok enough is enough you Melbourne girls have to stop teasing everyone else with the fun stuff you will be teaching/showing/selling. It's just not fair (insert stamping foot here), I'm going off for a good sulk
Just for the ruffle - bloody hell missus!
Can

Wait
To
See you next Friday...
I am so jealous, also sulking, I wish I lived in Melbourne so I could come and do the workshops, I would to learn how to make the PVC wallets. Have a wonderful time at the show. Cheers Christine

Your participants are going to have a blast! Wish I lived in Melbourne - have fun at the Show.
I sooo wish I wasn't so far away it sounds like you will be having a great time.. I would love to make a pvc and vintage paper wallet.. I just love vintage paper.. ahem
you must become rich and famous and write books that you need to tour the UK to teach classes and do book signings... *daydreaming*
Woo Hoo can't wait! I've been meaning to ask - are you going to have a selvedge donation bucket at your stall?
. . . what a fab idea about the selvedge donation bucket! Can't wait for the show - bring it on Jodie
Wish you weren't so far away! Can't wait to see what you're doing if that is only the ruffle!
Miss RicRac...Miss RicRac..{quietly raising hand in corner}...what if we live too far away for the class??? You won't give us a Fail will you???
No, of course not! Miss Ric Rac will give us a tutorial! (said hopefully from the next seat.)
So many good things here, Jodie. I can see you doing a lot of sales.
Good luck!
I'm looking forward to the reveal of your latest selvedge project....
I reckon you're covering a sofa. Am I warm?

I was very excited to see your name up in lights...that'll sell some tickets! Can't wait to catch ip-and say, "I knew her before she was this famous!!"LOL... see you Friday, Tracey
