Crafty happenings this weekend
Make your own tote bag at The Life Craft
Fancy sewing yourself something new, useful and 100% totally you? Glasgow Craft Mafia member, Blotted Copybook, is hosting a workshop at her brand new bricks and mortar craft salon extraordinaire, The Life Craft. For £25 you’ll get everything you need, including expert tuition and scrummy materials. There’s lots on hand to browse while you’re there, including cake! If you can’t make it in person, more workshops are lined up in future, and you can shop via the website here:www.thelifecraft.co.uk
Click here for full details on how to book your place, or phone the shop on 0141 334 2722 – you’ll find them on Great Western Road in the heart of Glasgow’s West End.
Edinburgh Festival
Maybe you’re keeping it Eastside this weekend? There’s lots going on in Edinburgh, with the Fringe and Festival in full swing. You can find Glasgow’s own Dazed Dorothy, Breagha, Suzy Loves and Gillian Kyle at the West End Fair at St John’s Churchyard, just next to Princes Street Gardens, every day until 29 August from 11-6.
Ravelry Meetups
Ravelry members in both Edinburgh and Glasgow can get social with meetups in both cities – weather permitting – on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. On Saturday the venue is the Meadows, right next to Middle Meadow Walk, with the meet starting at 2pm. On Sunday, the meet takes place in or near Kibble Palace, in Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens. If you belong to Ravelry, bring your yarn, needles and perhaps some treats to share with your fellow members. Get more info by logging on at www.ravelry.com – we heard all about it from Scottish fibre artist blogger The Sun Room.
Here’s hoping the weather holds!
