Community Events for Kids

Holiday Workshops are a great way to get a taste of this creative hobby ...KNITTING...SEWING...CROCHET..., and learn the basics of these very useful skills; and you get to take home an item(s) which you've made by yourself from start to finish. The class runs from 10 am - 4 pm, and is suitable for students aged 7+. Beginners are very welcome, as we'll be starting with learning the basics, safety in the sewing room, using the machine and simple have-sewing; and the project will be finished in time to bring home at the end of the workshop. Use of sewing machines, all patterns, fabric etc is included in the cost. However you do need to bring lunch/drink/morning tea. Booking is essential as class size is kept to 4-5 student. So either book for yourself, or organise your own group to enjoy a great day sewing! Please visit website for a detailed dates/projects page: under Holiday Workshop/ October 2017.
