Today's Zoom Sewing Circle!
I'm so excited for tonight's sewing circle! We are opening this up to all Patron tiers, and please keep in mind that only 100 people can join at any given time. This is still a bit of an experiment, and there will be more live events at other times if you can't make this one! These meetings are not recorded to respect the privacy of the attendees. Here is all the info you need to join the meeting.
Topic: Gertie's Zoom Sewing Circle
Time: Apr 2, 2020 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

What Do I Need to Do?
You will need to have a Zoom account and have it downloaded to your computer. Please have your computer video and audio enabled. Join meeting at 6:00 EDT or a little before.
How Will It Work?
The circle will be moderated by the lovely Melisha and hosted by me. The idea is that we will all be sewing and hanging out, but it will be carefully organized to minimize any chaos and noise. I will give a little talk about what I'm working on and then we will open the floor to shares. If you would like to share what you're working on, you will have 3 minutes to talk and then you will choose the next person to share. We will go in a circle in this fashion. You will be on mute unless you are called on (to minimize background noise and the whirring of machines).
No Pressure!
Above all, I want this to be fun for all of us. This is informal. So if you're just working on hand hemming a dress on your couch in your pajamas, that's totally fine! You can be sewing whatever project you like. And no pressure to share if you just want to hang out. We will be making use of the "raise your hand" feature on Zoom so you won't be put on the spot unexpectedly.
Questions? Let us know in the comments!
xo,
Gertie (and Melisha!)

Thank you for hosting such a lovely event
Nice to meet everyone! It's fun to see what everyone is working on!
It was a really fun meeting! Thanks for your live streams and the sewing circles. I'm working everyday from home but don't have any social outlets and interacting with this group is a great break!
this was a great distraction from "life" right now. Is this a normal weekly event, or something that is fairly new *other than the princess one last week*
I’m not really sure! It’s just a bonus thing I’ve been doing while quarantined and not part of the official Patreon benefits. I wouldn’t say anything is particularly normal right now 🤣 We’ll play it by ear how it continues in the future!
It was fun meeting everyone. Looking forward to the birthday party.
I'm so bummed I missed it!
Ahhhh work exploded on me and I missed it ;( maybe I will work from home for the next one so I don’t miss it 🥰
That was so much fun - can't wait to the Pajama Party next week.
I’m on zoom but connecting for about 3 min now and still spinning😢
I won’t be able to join in again this morning 😕 Friday mornings are difficult for me. But I will be ready to go for the next one!
Won't be able to join this time unfortunately, I had an online ballet lesson this evening that crushed me 😆 and 6 PM est is midnight here in France. Have fun everyone, I hope to join again next time !!
I unfortunately don't have a camera/speaker other than on my phone. 😖
Karine, good way to practice your English.
Karine you should still come join 🥰
Why I don't speak fluent English 😭😭😭😭 I would have loved so much
What if we are stuck at work in our office as it will be 3 pm PST, is it ok to pop in and say hello to everyone ?
