Members of the SA Institute of Homecrafts recently held their monthly meeting at the Primrose Bowling Club.<\/p>\n

“We are a home crafts club and we meet every second Tuesday of the month, for a cup of tea and to learn various crafts, including sewing, crocheting, d\u00e8coupage, and generally just anything that women like to do,” said chairperson of the club Esra Leibold.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The club has different demonstrators every month, who come along to meetings to demonstrate some form of craft or needlework.<\/p>\n

In September, the club had organised for a florist, from Lambton, to visit, but she was unable to make it, due to an illness.<\/p>

The disappointment of the cancellation didn’t discourage the members, who carried on with the other fun activities they usually have.<\/p>\n

Among other things, the women brought along cuttings and flowers from their gardens to sell, to raise funds for the the club.<\/p>\n

“We have competitions, sell scarves and other activities for the women to look forward to, and such activities also raise funds for the club,” explained Leibold.<\/p>\n

“We have three clubs, in Edenvale, Brakpan and Primrose, and more members are welcome to come along and join the club, including men.”<\/p>\n
