This make used a ready made bare wood chest of drawers, some paint, and a set of flower transfers. The chest of drawers was painted, and once dry, the rub-on rose transfers were attached. For the transfers on the drawers, the transfers were carefully slit along the edge of the drawer once they had been stuck in place. A coat of matt or gloss varnish will ensure the transfers stay in place. This is a simple easy make, which can be used to style any bare wood furniture – a nice way to match several pieces for a ladies boudoir, or a Swedish style home. Use it on cupboard doors, or to decorate the back of a bookcase, too.

These cushions were made with a linen type material, and the flowers are transfers, designed for material. They were simple to make, requiring minimal sewing, and make an attractive alternative to plain cushions. They are also easier than embroidered cushions. Very pretty in a dollshouse bedroom or sitting room.

To cover expenses, the club charges £10 a year for membership, and £1 per meeting for all attendees. This usually covers all expenses of the venue and the materials. Members running a meeting are reimbursed for expenses for materials, and do not pay that meeting’s attendee fee. Sue acts as facilitator, booking the venue and arranging the annual programme. Refreshments are provided free of charge, and we usually hold a raffle with a few small dollshouse related prizes.
