"The Way We Were" display

Our theme for Open Day was "The Way We Were 1920s -80s". Here are a few of the treasures club members brought along for a display of handicrafts from those decades and in some cases even earlier.

Elegant Casssandra

Creative Fibres Thames celebrated their Open Day with the theme "The Way We Were".  A fabulous selection of garments from 1920s to 1980s were modelled by members and friends to the oohs, aahs and laughter of the audience. Wendy Courtney generously supplied the clothes, some of her collection of over 2000.

                                                 






 Did you ever see anything like these sleeves?
