For the first time, on Tuesday, Anne and I flew solo....by that I mean we drove to and around Maseru on our own....this can be quite daunting but we managed fine! We went to the building that houses Seithati Weavers, actually a nice building but the roof in the workshop is in very poor repair! Anyone know a builder who wants to volunteer.....?!! The weave in tapestry and on loom and dye their own yarn producing some nice work but have a very low income. We are encouraging them to extend their range of woven bags and line them with Seshoeshoe fabric to sell at Cherry Festival, the new craft shop in Ficksburg and to take to a Christmas fair at the start of December - we hope this will generate some income for the group.
