These ladies made their tote/carry all #bags today with an hour to spare! I can’t believe they finished so quickly. Must have something to do with the fact that Ruth and Tina are running the half marathon tomorrow in Birmingham. Di said at the start that she is usually slow...🤔 I dont think so....😀 Also whilst chatting we discovered that we both taught at the same school in Bromley and knew some of the same staff! Di had taught there 20years prior to me....🙊 it’s such a small world.

Yesterday I ran my second #leather workshop @bclivingmuseum it was an introduction to leather. Participants learnt the basics of #leathercraft and made a coin purse and bi-fold wallet. Again, I love the age ranges that leather crafting attract. Such a lovely group to teach. .
.
The museum is one of my favourite places in the #black country I didn’t get chance to walk around and visit the sites... (too busy teaching)or have the famous fish and chips, but they’re definitely on my my to do list for my next visit.😀

So on Saturday I ran the carryall/tote bag short course once more. @drginapp created her first leather bag, a seasoned sewer she walked away super chuffed! @x.d_d.x created her third for a friend ( top friend I say) and Janice created her first. It was a real pleasure watching the colour combos once more.....☺️✂️👜

Those of you who know me may have heard me talking about the social enterprise idea I’m working on for young people. Well here it is. #hockleymade @hockleymade is a project for 16-18 year olds to gain experience working in a studio designing and making textile/leather based products that will then be sold at an event. It’s six full day sessions - this round of sessions will run in August/September. No cost to attend, just commitment, passion and creativity. If you know any young people who may be interested, please pass on. All enquiries are by email at hockleymade@gmail.com the insta is now set up so all info and the development of the project will be posted there. Please spread the word! Thanks... ☺️
