Two Zoom Sewing Circles Coming Up!
🕑 Added 2020-07-16 14:27:50 +0000 UTCHi everyone! Because the virtual sewing circles have been so popular, we've decided to do TWO this month! (One will replace the usual monthly live stream.)
Here's the schedule:
1. Wednesday, July 22nd at 12:00 noon Eastern: this is a new time we're trying! Hopefully it will work for a whole new group of sewists.
2. Wednesday, July 29th at 5:00 pm Eastern
On the day of the sewing circle, you will receive a link to the the meeting. Please read on for more info! Can't wait to see you all.
Is this your first sewing circle? We can't wait to meet you! Here is some general info about these events:
What Do I Need to Do?
You will need to have a Zoom account and have it downloaded to your computer. You will receive a link on the day of the Zoom to register in advance. Please have your computer video and audio enabled.
How Will It Work?
The circle will be moderated by the lovely Melisha and hosted by me. The idea is that we will all be sewing and hanging out, but it will be carefully organized to minimize any chaos and noise. I will give a little talk about what I'm working on and then we will open the floor to shares. If you would like to share what you're working on, you will have 3 minutes to talk. We will go in a circle in this fashion. You will be on mute unless you are called on (to minimize background noise and the whirring of machines). Unfortunately, there is not time to answer questions about your projects; this is primarily a social event. Please note that Zoom meetings are not recorded or shared out of respect for the privacy of attendees.
No Pressure!
This is informal. So if you're just working on hand hemming a dress on your couch in your pajamas, that's totally fine! You can be sewing or knitting whatever project you like. And no pressure to share if you just want to hang out. We will be making use of the "raise your hand" feature on Zoom so you won't be put on the spot unexpectedly. Questions? Let us know in the comments!
xo,
Gertie (and Melisha!)

being on the other side of the world could be fun ... midday is 4am the next day here in NZ so I might have to go into work early and login for this one. :)
I’m gutted these are all in EST, whilst I’m in GMT…
