Hello!

Sending out love to one of our ladies who was in the hospital. 

The Sewing Group Turns 20!

Help us celebrate the sewing group's 20th birthday.
A fun night of food, music, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
We will even have a fashion show!
Hope to see you there!


There will be no sewing that day as we will be preparing for the party.

Volunteers and asylum seeker women sew together.

Margaret & one of the women from the Asylum Seeker Project

Here is Margaret and an asylum seeker she assisted during a special sewing session on Friday 12 June.  As part of a regular gathering of women coordinated by the Asylum Seeker Project, this event highlighted how special it can be to create something with someone.  

The photo shows one of the 20 bags that were sewn by the women with the help of our volunteers. There was also some great work coming out of the busy crochet and knitting corner.

Thanks so much to Sara, Elisa & all at Lentara Uniting Care for inviting us to take part. And for the delicious lunch.

And much gratitude to these sewing group women who so happily shared their time, enthusiasm & talent: 

Jennifer, Laura, Kamala, Madiha, Margaret, Anita, Melissa, Sara and her friend!, Melissa R, Sooki, Marlene, Tracey, Jodi, Angela, Bindi, Debbie, Nat and Ruza. 

We all really enjoyed spending time with you all.

You're invited!

Even if it's been a while since we've seen you've been at sewing, this invite is to all the wonderful women of the MWSG community. Please join us for this celebration:

Laura is soon to return from her world wide adventure. 

So it is time to thank Madiha for her patience and fabulously super!sewing skills over the last year.
