A FREE sewing circle has started at Ballarat East Neighbourhood House for people who want to learn the skills of the craft.<\/p>\n
Held on Tuesdays from 3pm until 5pm at Barkley Square, the sessions provide an opportunity for the community to get together and work on sewing projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have just started a beginner sewing circle here and people were asking extra questions that we couldn\u2019t cover in the course of a class,\u201d said sewing circle member and teacher of the beginner class, Christine Segaert.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to run a social sewing group so people can work on a project, help each other and I can help them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sessions are free and participants are welcome to bring along their own supplies, sewing machine, and other equipment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s way to focus on sewing and have fun with people that have similar interests,\u201d said Ms Segaert. \u201cBring a project of whatever you want to sew, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s hand sewing or a machine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people here with different knowledge and they help each other too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Segaert said participants enjoy the fact they can come to these social sewing sessions whenever they feel like it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing that people like about the social sewing is it\u2019s not a commitment for a whole term so you don\u2019t feel bad if you can\u2019t come next week,\u201d she said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, you come when you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
