Well, here we are on Monday 1st February 2021, its been over 6 months since I have written on the blog – no real reason, just slack I suppose. But that is about to change.
So here goes, firstly following is a copy of the newsletter I sent out recently (If you are not on the mailing list and would like to be, email me your details.)
Gumnut Gear Newsletter: Session 1 2021. 19th January to 13th March.
Hi and welcome to the first Gumnut Gear newsletter for 2021.
Well, here we are in January 2021, hopefully this year will be a lot less crazy than what it was in 2020. We have new rules that need to be followed and if everyone just gets on board with them, we should be fine. It looks like it will be our new normal for some time to come.
Here in the studio I have hand sanitizer and sign in at the door.
I will continue to send text reminders for all classes, as I have restricted number allowed it is really important that you respond to my text yes or no so that I know how many to expect.
Rulers and mats are available for you to use, you will need to bring all other equipment yourself.
I am making a change in how things run this year, that is I will be working in 8-week blocks, 8 weeks of classes and 2 weeks off. This is to give me some time out to recharge.
Now for the fun stuff!!
Below I have listed the Classes and Workshops for session 1 2021.
General Sewing classes continue to be popular. So, why not come and join me for some uninterrupted sewing time with a lovely group of likeminded people and all the help and guidance you need.
