23.01.2022 Hi Sewing teams, we are waiting for confirmation from Mt Barker Community Centre, as to whether we will be running our monthly sewing bee on 1/4/2020. In the meantime, can people please respond via this post, as to whether you would like to make facemasks for people accessing the community centre for food. I posted up face mask patterns yesterday.

13.01.2022 Hi Everyone, dust off those sewing machines, for our epic Sewing Bee on Wed 4th of March & please confirm whether you are coming by clicking going, if you have not already :)
12.01.2022 If you did not manage to purchase any protective masks, I've found a couple of patterns, one you will need a sewing machine, the second, just needle & thread. They are not N95 or P2 standard, but better than no protection. Let the video run into the next one, for pattern just using needle & thread Happy sewing We've got this!!! PS Bunnings should have the plastic covered wire in gardening section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCJcE-r7kcg
