Right we have discussed it and the first card meet will be at my house.
Either Saturday 7th, Sat 14th or Friday 6th or Friday 13th (Oh might be a bad day for some, but usually a lucky one for me !!)

I'd probably better do a poll - later

ok, here's what i'm doing....
I'm going to run a monthly sewing course. It will be a little different to the craft meets and the numbers will be limited as I'm planning a proper tutorial from beginners to intermediate level initially. I'll need a full month to plan the course and to fix my third sewmo if it can be done.
Because several people have been asking already, I want to give them first refusal and the extra places will be available after that. Anyone who doesn't get the first time around will get priority the second time. By that time, the beginners will be together at a new level with a bit of luck......or even helping with the next group

This is all part of a fiendish plan to start a neeps sweat shop....

hehehehe, Gordon will be making shackles

Suggestion for the first date will be Afternoon, Saturday 21st November and, hopefully, every third Saturday in the month after that, unless it proves a completely impossible date for everyone in which case, it will need to be altered.
Need to add;
Any blokes who have a sewing machine and want to learn to sew should consider doing this too, it's not just for girls.

I would LOVE to come sewing at Julies! 3rd Saturdays are good for me, though may miss occasional one if D's doing gun dog thing.

Sounds wonderful. Vey happy

If too many people want to take this up, I might do two just to get everyone started...........depending on how tiring the first one is.
Better to have two small groups where everyone gets a look in, than too large a group. It would give people the opportunity to switch days with each other sometimes too.

I'd like to come too (if there's any space). I have a very old electric machine that's I've never used as I'm not sure about the wiring.

It's a long way, but maybe I could pick someone up en-route to help with costs?

I'd like to come too - anyone give me a lift? hehehe

Have got a couple of sewing machines too but they are in scotland and I've not managed to get them down here yet. Not enough room in the car

Maybe next time. I've got a particularly lovely treadle machine that I really want to get down here but can't until I move cos there isn't room at mum's for it.
