Casterton, Casterton, Casterton our school....

GCSE textiles revisited

So this weekend I sent out an SOS to my buddies. Hand sewing, spreadsheets, print layouts and banter needed in excessive doses and my oh my did they deliver...

My besties are actually mainly still from my school days at Casterton School in Lancashire. Named best value for money in the UK i.e half a sandwich for lunch and a netball court sporting one to many pot holes. We loved it though...excelling in all areas and setting an exemplary standard of conduct at all times....



Our first school buddie got married last year and being a 'frock maker' is made worth while when you can punish your pal with a red PVC swimsuit for a pre wedlock weekend of debauchery...


So the team arrived friday night. I fed and watered them, sending them to bed early for a bright and early 12pm start...eh?!?!?
There were 5 troops in total and we sewed, ironed, organised and did fancy stuff on illustrator. As we would have said at school it was totally LUSH.


It brightened my weekend having the girls down, it has also broken me in gently for communication with the outside world in preparation for my exit from the house in a weeks time. For this and that I thank-you all. Love you long time xx
