Three days after the Waverley library workshop<\/a> I gave another Sew a Softie workshop at Ashfield library. This time I checked the numbers. Strangely the story seemed to be unfolding along familiar lines: a workshop of 15 had bourgeoned into 30 plus. This time I was prepared. I’d brought in Shira, my oldest daughter, who squeezed me in between her prep for next terms art classes (she’s a high school art teacher), I still had Yiscah who never let’s me down (even when there’s a good reason to) and we came with plenty of supplies. The workshop was an hour an a half but went for two hours and it was great to see how much the kids loved being able to sew and make their own softies. It’s a sight I see over and over and never get tired of. It always gives me a buzz.<\/p>\n

Just this morning I received an email from one of the mums which pretty much sums up how well the Sew a Softie workshops go down: “Just wanted to let you know my 3 kids are still talking about how good (excellent was my 8 year old son’s words) your Sew a Softie class was yesterday…We LOVED LOVED LOVED your activity yesterday. I am going to ring Emma and Kathy at Ashfield Library today and ask you to come back next September school holidays”.<\/p>\n

It was also really exciting for me to meet up with Simone who blogs at Play with Food and Shannon from Oh Creative Day, a long-time\u00a0insta friend who I’d never met in person but always wanted to. Simone’s daughter Ellie joined in the softie workshop but Shannon’s three little one’s are still all under three…just a scratch too young to join in.<\/p>\n

Here’s \u00a0a peek at how things went:<\/p>\n
