Starting a Craft/sewing club!

I've heard that rumor ever since they both opened. I am still waiting but hoping it is not true!

Libbyfab,
I'm enrolling in a tailoring class in September. It's going to be in Cantonese though.

address:

19 Des Voeux Rd West
phone no: 2914 4266

It's $390 for 12 lessons and if you pass the course you get your money back.

Hi,
I am also very interested either in sewing or craft making. I have a sewing machine but I can only do simple project or sew with a pattern. I love to learn how to make my own pattern. I am also a stay at home mom with a 20 months old son and 2nd one coming at the end of the year. So I also have to wait for my husband to come home from work on weekday (around 7pm) and Saturdays are good too.

Cheers,
Yee

Hi Mums,

Have created a Sewing and Craft Group for you . You can post photos, start discussions and they'll all be saved in location.

Dear YTV;

Thanks for the info! it sounds like its a pretty good deal! Perhaps i can join the Next round, as I'm having my bb in Sept! Keep me posted on how it goes! Cantonese wouldn't be a problem. Do you know if its good for those who hasn't sewed in a LONG time?!

I miss sewing so much! I didn't bring my machine to HK and really regret it. I used to work for a fashion company in London and I really miss the creative side. I've made a few little dresses for my 11 month old and would love to do some more stuff like this.
Let me know it you guys are going to meet up to chat about it.

Libbyfab and Kat76,

there's basic sewing course you can take there too. Just ring them up and ask what coursed they do, or just go in and check out there course details.

Kat76 you can buy a sewing machine Sham shui po or queens road West near queens terrace.

send me your e-mail address so I can work out what days would be the best to meet up.

ooh, me too ... I've been looking for some group like this. I miss sewing, and am right now hand-sewing a summer-weight sleepsack for my son, but it's going slow and I just keep thinking "if only I had my machine ..." I 'm considering bringing mine back with me from home this summer .. we'll see. Anyway, I also knit and I buy fabric and fantasize about projects and would LOVE to talk with others about ideas, etc. So count me in! Anyone else here read the blog soulemama ? She has such great ideas for projects, and especially how to get kids involved. WHen I grow up, I want to be like her
