LIVE ZOOM SEW ALONGS
Every so often, we will have a LIVE sewalong to make something simple enough to do in a group via ZOOM. These projects are just for fun and may often seem a little basic but it’s a nice way to come together and learn a few new techniques. We may also use these as an opportunity to trial new classes or courses we plan to put on. These Zoom sessions take place in our online sewing room (details below) The event details will be placed on our facebook group with full details of any materials or prep required.
