She charges a nominal amount to cover the hire of the church hall and her time. My friend has been going for 6 years now and she is still the new girl!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-41025857438165372392012-02-21T20:58:39.789+00:002012-02-21T20:58:39.789+00:00I went to one of these at the Traid branch in Shep...I went to one of these at the Traid branch in Shepherds Bush last year. There were 2 experts on hand to help and they were rushed off their feet helping everyone. I think about 6 people turned up. I was really inspired with what you can do with your existing wardrobe. It's great that Traid do this and good on you for volunteering your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-21157810596302324132012-02-21T18:25:25.052+00:002012-02-21T18:25:25.052+00:00Thanks everyone for your comments,
@badmomgoodmom...Thanks everyone for your comments,<br /><br />@badmomgoodmom, thanks for that, I hadn't heard she was doing that, I'll check it out. <br /><br />@ScarletteOTara, thanks for your interest! You can email Lyla at lyla@traid.org.uk for details about future workshops in Camden. It'd be best to tell her what kind of assistance you require so she can tell you if there will be someone there on that evening to help you. It may be that your level is too high for those workshops. It would have been nice to meet you, hopefully in the future!<br /><br />All the best<br />Zoe xxxZoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893813529679767893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-82999324408017622512012-02-19T20:08:32.141+00:002012-02-19T20:08:32.141+00:00Hello!

I really enjoy reading what you have to say from a feminist, sewist and sustainability point of view. Yay. <br /><br />I work in Camden but had no idea Traid did these courses. If only I'd known I definitely would have come along to ask or assistance with grading vintage patterns to fit! Would have been nice to meet you in person, too! Will definitely get my ass along to the next session - do you know how I go about booking them?ScarletteOTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083130844560552518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-67096474874027658352012-02-19T11:28:05.037+00:002012-02-19T11:28:05.037+00:00I hope that you get another opportunity to share y...I hope that you get another opportunity to share your amazing talents with willing learners.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-24201962328673883042012-02-18T21:07:47.846+00:002012-02-18T21:07:47.846+00:00Interesting idea!

But good on you for taking such a long trip to check it out and help. I hope you get something up and running in Brighton - maybe start with a few friends, and they can extend to theirs until you're dealing with friends of friends of friends, who are nice strangers, and see here it leads? :)MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-72846406611777529482012-02-18T18:12:35.690+00:002012-02-18T18:12:35.690+00:00Have you heard about Nikki's new endeavor?

Plus, they generally provide low-end machines, often with incompatible bobbins and can't guarantee which machine will be available when you show up. Things always take longer on unfamiliar equipment.<br /><br />Nikki's locker and membership idea sounds interesting. At least, you can keep your own equipment there.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-34181516403608040832012-02-18T13:20:35.339+00:002012-02-18T13:20:35.339+00:00That all sounds very exciting - I hope the right o...That all sounds very exciting - I hope the right opportunity comes along for you soon.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479816292532374029noreply@blogger.com
