Sock piggy wigs!

September Lo Fi brings the chance for you to make a new friend J

I will be showing how to make a little sock pig.

You don’t need to bring anything except £1.50 and that will guarantee that you get to take a friend home.

If however you do want to choose and bring some socks or buttons that’s cool too.

Anything you’ve made recently please bring it along for show and tell, we’d love to see.

Common will take orders for our tea or whatever drinks and nibbles make take your fancy?
