Occasional Care available for toddlers while you sew MOPA, Patchwork, crochet etc

Hi All,

• Move Over Peter Alexander hopefully will start this Monday 13th August. $220 and runs for 5 weeks...spaces still available

• Beginner's crochet hopefully starts Monday evening also 6.30 pm-8.30 pm $200 for 5 weeks..spaces still available

• Boiled Wool Coat This Friday evening $85...spaces available. You need to purchase fabric from either The Fabric Store Cooper St or Tessutis Surrey Hills.

• Still trying to get Beginner's Patchwork started on a Tuesday night; there may be interest  in as a midweek daytime class (see below) or a Sunday....I welcome feedback to get this going

• Also still trying to get skirts going.

• There is good interest in the express dress and shawl coat...these will be run as 2X2 hour classes and will be incredibly productive.Come in have a look at them and try them on. 
• I thought there would be a lot of interest in the baby's heirloom blanket that would be great as an alternative shower tea. Perhaps there is concern that it could end up an unfinished project. The squares are quite quick to do. The borders are straight forward and Elizabeth will guide you through the blocking etc. I thought perhaps it could be come part of a large blanket as 'the baby' grew, incorporating say cricket bat,frock etc and eventually a dog, house etc....I really think it is worth another look.

• At last I have found a local Occasional Childcare place that may be of interest to those mothers who want to take a morning class but have the issue of childcare. It is the Ashfield Baptist Childcare. They take 3 yrs and up as well as under 3. There is a time slot that is 8.30 am-11.30. am and the costs seem reasonable; around $30.00. It comes under the Occasional Care Program and Childcare Benefit is available to those who qualify.

I have spoken to them and they seem willing to try to work towards accommodating a small group of children whose mothers want to do a sewing session with us. 

I envisage a group of 6 could drop their children off, do a class 9-11 eg Move Over Peter Alexander, and be back to pick children up by 11.30. I am under the impression if we asked for a weekly booking for a block, say 5 weeks every Wednesday, that that could be accommodated. It would add a further $150 to a 5 week class that would already cost $220 but I think it sounds like a good opportunity.ack. You may have a mother's group interested or wish to come alone; email me your feedback.
