Wednesday 3 July – Mary Cook lead a brilliant Mini Workshop to make a Folded Hexagon Scissor Keeper or Key Fob
SISSIX – June 2024
On Wednesday 5th June we had a fun and inspiring evening when Debbie Cottam, ably assisted by Lisa (aka Betty Freckles) demonstrated our very own Sissix machine, and explained the history of Sissix through the ages.
The Sissix machine is fantastic for crafting, and hand piecing, and it’s always fun to see it in action. I’m sure the laughter made it even more memorable, and now we will all be rushing to use the group’s own resident Sissix to cut out millions of shapes, whether it is hexagons or hares, bells or baubles, there is bound to be a die ready made for you to use.
