Carry/shopping Bag (sizes shown for Sample) 1. Can be made any size cut two rectangles 2. Bottom corners to be cut out.

Bring cut out corner seams together across corner, double stitch for strength now you have constructed the side Gusset repeat with other corner press. 3. Overlock around top of bag and press 3cms to inside of bag and attach pressed Handles to long open edges with two rows of Machine stitching (top and Bottom) around whole top edge of bag You could add a pocket (for phone or car keys) on outside or inside 4. Handles: cut two pieces as shown, for each piece, sew long edges together, inside facing out and leaving some long sewing threads hanging threads can be tied to a bodkin or safety pin to be threaded back down inside your handle to assist you to turn right side out! 5.

21.01.2022 Kadina Memorial School Community Poppy Project: as we near Remembrance Day an enthusiastic team has begun organising a stunning display of knitted and crocheted... poppies. Our target is to have panels of poppies on the schools front fence as well as wrapped around trees in the heart of the school. This will require hundreds of poppies, if not a few thousand, and we continue to welcome all community contributions to achieve our memorial to the districts former armed services personnel. Weve been heartened by the poppies made by students and their families and those donated by community members making this an authentic community project to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in war. If you would like to contribute a knitted poppy pattern is available on the schools website: https://www.kms.sa.edu.au/poppy-projector/

17.01.2022 We're so pleased to let you know that we've updated our popular Needles Guide. The Guide is free for you to download. It's a true-to-scale size guide, so all ne...edles pictured are at actual size when printed to A4. The Guide is a fantastic tool for identifying the needles you have (especially when they've been separated from their original packaging). It's also a very handy aid for determining the right size of needle for your sewing and embroidery projects. Needle dimensions, along with the length and diameter of all our needles is also included. You can find the guide at https://www.jjneedles.com/needles-guide #jjneedles #NeedlesGuide

14.01.2022 Throwback Thursday: Today we focus on Mary Walker House. MWH is the administrative and handicrafts hub of the SACWA. The property at 30 Dequetteville Terrace ...was purchased in 1951 and became The Club. Built alongside, MWH was opened by Sir Thomas Playford on August 9th, 1963. The building was named after Mary Walker who retired as Honorary State Secretary after 16 years. The most memorable exhibition ever staged in MWH was during the Festival of Arts in March 1966. Our Patron at the time, Lady Bastyan attended the Exhibition which ran for 17 days. Mary Walker House, at any time of the day and often into the night is a hive of activity. The Handicraft Shop is always busy be that with customers, handicraft meetings or handicraft schools. Our front reception area always has a lovely display of home produced goods be it jams, chutneys or hand knitted blankets and throws or our popular cook books, tea towels, Laucke scone mix and more.
