An amazing day was had by all who visited the Lichfield Sewing Shop on Friday 24th October.\u00a0 Tea was served with a selection of cakes provided by Lichfield Soroptimists and visitors could sit, chat, learn to knit or crochet a poppy whilst enjoying tea and home made cakes.\u00a0 This was the brainchild of British Legion Fundraiser and Lichfield Soroptimist Bev Billings and the event took place in her memory.\u00a0Raffle tickets were available to win poppy aprons and tea cosies and for those who did not have enough time to stay and knit, a poppy kit was available for \u00a33.\u00a0To date, the Sewing Shop have raised over \u00a31000 selling poppies made by the Soroptimists and there is still time before November 11th to pop in and buy\/donate.\u00a0 The photos show what a\u00a0 great event it was and the window display drew in passers by.\u00a0 An article in the Mercury about Bev and the event brought people into Lichfield who would otherwise not come.\u00a0 A great team effort but particular thanks to the team at the shop – their welcome and enthusiasm was infectious!<\/p>\n
