Would you like to learn some basic sewing techniques? How to do simple alterations to get a really good fit?

Do you have a favourite thing that needs altering, mending?

Do you have a bargain you bought in the Sales that doesn't really fit?

Do you have an urge to make a cushion?

I've been doing alterations for people on the forum for years and have been asked many times about doing classes...

So, who wants to come along and learn ? When would work for you? Evening? Daytime? What would you like to learn? All thoughts, ideas welcome.

Thanks Sue, 07894438163

I have an open studio coming up 18th-19th June as part of the Camberwell Arts week, (private view, Fri 17th, 6_9pm)

So I am just trying to work out if we can do our first evening before that. The week after the Open Studio I run Arts Club at the Art Deli in Camberwell, this is a great venue as they have wine and I did wonder about running the class here, it would work well for basic hand stitching techniques, but for alterations we would need the privacy of my studio. So, we have options and I would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks

I'm now hoping to do an evening class on either Friday 24th or Monday 27th June. Let me know if you're interested? The cost will be ?20 for an hour and a half, or longer if we need it. Starting at 7-7.30, easy with start time, whatever works for you.

Hi Sue.


I missed all the above messages so was too late to join your session, but I'm really interested in classes. Not just for alterations but I have a pile of patterns I've been waiting to have a go at as I'm just a little too inexperienced to have the confidence and need to motivation of being at a class and having the support if I need it. I don't want to book onto a commercial class as they make you do their own patterns and I don't want to make something I won't wear!


Are you interested in running a sewing group like this regularly? Or could you give me tuition? I also lack the space to do the sewing.


Thanks,

Hannah

    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.    
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
