Had a busy week last week, so here's a small round up of things happening around the Hackspace!

A few of us went to over the weekend. I (Cat) came back with a new selection of plushies.

Last week we got a new-to-us sewing machine that needed some light repairs. A couple of new screws and some tape and it's back ready to sew whatever projects come its way!

I made some new zip bags for my own use for once! They don't take very long and are great for keeping your bag or pockets sorted.

has brought a sign in for some tlc. It's beautiful and carved with images of insects and leaves.

Rick was sewing together a small mountain of strips for a new dance shirt.

And our tuck shop got a restock with everyone's favourite snacks.

Been a busy one, want to come and see it for yourself?

We have: Textile Tuesday 6:30-9pm, General members and code club Wednesday 6:30-9pm, and Saturday our public tours noon-1pm and members until 5pm.

What shall we work on next??

worked on a new shirt. Other members were working on surprise projects, so no photos for a little bit (the progress on it is amazing!).

Fancy learning to make a shirt? Or knit, crochet, hand sewing or embroidery? Tuesday night we have sewing machines, knitting needles, crochet hooks, and a whole host of experienced makers around.

New kit, new skills, old skills being used... All good fun in the space tonight.
