Sewing enthusiasts of all abilities are invited to attend a new Melton sewing group, providing the opportunity to share skills and sew in a social environment.
Running each Tuesday from 9.30am–3pm, the Sewing Club at Melton South Community Centre started early this year and has attracted a group of regular attendees who gather to share their sewing skills and socialise with others.
Attendees bring along their own machine and materials, and all abilities are invited to join in.
Melton South Community Centre program co-ordinator Danielle Clarke said that socialisation is an important aspect of the club.
“It gets them out of the house, meeting new people, new ideas … being connected to the community,” Ms Clarke said.
“It’s open to all abilities, and the ladies are willing to help each other as well, which is great. They all have different skills and different levels,” she said.
Ms Clarke said that she has seen new friendships form through the club, with members catching up outside of the Tuesday sessions.
She said that attendance hours are flexible, with some members choosing to stay from open to close.
The club runs every Tuesday of the year – apart from public holidays – and those interested in joining are encouraged to call the community house for details or drop in during the club’s opening hours at 41 Exford Road, Melton South.
The club also continues throughout the school holidays.
