NORRIS MUSEUM COMMUNITY SEWING PROJECT- Exhibition to Commemorate WW1

I am getting involved with this years exhibition at the Norris Museum,  this year they are working with the local school and community to create an exhibition to commemorate WW1.

Interested then why not help to create textile items such as reproduction embroidered postcards and pincushions. The small item will then be added to their exhibition.

Materials and inspiration provided here at The Cabin, just bring along a needle and some embroidery threads.
