OMG!

Yes, literally OMG because firstly, the One Maker Group (OMG, get it?) had the soft launch of its makerspace at the beginning of the month and I was really excited to be invited over with my fabric hacking/upcycling and electronics. I am so grateful for the huge amounts of support from all of you - it's been a long yet very fruitful journey!  Secondly, it was OMG because during the soft launch I realised I couldn't thread the needles without removing my specs - that's right, age has caught up with me. It didn't help that I couldn't even thread the threader into the eye of the needle!! The sad thing is that it happened so suddenly! :-(

Anyway, enough of me being glum (I just need to get a pair of bifocals, that's all!).  Here are a few pictures I managed to take during the soft launch on 6 September at the National Design Centre. I'm now busy designing a few workshops for the space - what would you like to learn?  Anything that tickles your mind? Sign-up for updates on workshops at the OMG website or on Facebook.   Details on space usage and membership are also detailed on the site. Look forward to seeing you :-)

This lady made a blinky headband and even tried her hand at metal and woodwork!

Metal works - design your own jewellery! I wanted to make one too!

It was getting very creative - hair ties and even a sling bag made for this 8 year old's mum!

These boys came over to design their very own plush toys. First time sewers!
Thank you to C for the pictures of the boys in the making process.
