The wonderful thing about sewing is, you can make something that nobody else will have in their wardrobe.
We’d put money on that no one has anything close to this beautiful coat made by Carolyn. The fabric is gorgeous, and the fastening was a repurposed belt buckle!
I mean… bravo Carolyn👏 🤩 💚

If you’d like to come along and make your own project, whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced, we have groups that cater for all skill levels.
We are at Leitholm, Stitchill, Maxton and Gavinton village halls.

We are more than happy for children to attend our classes, but they must be sewing their own project and accompanied by a membership adult at all times.

Scrapstore Summer Holidays

It’s time for our summer break, and time for yours too we hope.
Fisherrow will be closed next week, 6th to 10th July
Selkirk will be closed for a fortnight from Monday 27th July, open again Tuesday 11th August.
It’s sort of staggered, so one of us will be open most of the summer.

Best wishes for a great summer,
John & the Scrapstore team.

Karen found a very nice man’s shirt in the charity shop.
But as always Karen knew she could make it better.
She unpicked and turned the cuffs so the floral fabric was visible, shortened the length for a more feminine tailored look, and bingo, a lovely summertime blouse!
Well done Karen 👏💗🌺

What an absolute triumph this renovation is!
These photos don’t do this fabric and the cushions justice at all. Just stunning!

Lately it’s been all about pockets in our various groups, and we all love pockets!
Whether you pattern match, or don’t or use a completely different but complimentary fabric. The choice is yours!
As always at BCSC the choice is yours, there’s no right or wrong fabric choice, do whatever makes you smile.

Kathleen made this beautiful bag out of some remnant tweed fabric and lined it with a shirt that Was no longer worn.
To say it’s a triumph is an understatement! 👜😍
