We are getting closer to setting up a New Plymouth version of Upsewing!
What we need now, for Hāwera and Ngāmotu (New Plymouth), is more sewing machines. If you have a machine you would like to donate to us, please get in touch.
We don't mind if it's a bit dusty or has a known issue but please don't dump your rusty, hard to use machines on us! We use these machines to teach children and adults how to sew so they need to be easy to use and care for. We can get them serviced if it's been a while since they've been used though.
You will receive 6 Hours per machine, 10 hours for an overlocker.

Tinc algunes peces de roba que necessitarien petits arranjaments però no en sé gens de cosir. Voldria que algú m'ensenyés com fer-ho jo mateix. També necessitaria una foradadora pel cinturó.

M'agradaria anar a nedar al mar però mai ho he fet i em fa respecte d'anar-hi sol per primera vegada. Busco algú per anar-hi i resoldre'm possibles dubtes que em sorgeixin.

Tinc diverses plantes a casa: una calathea, una alfàbrega, i altres de què no en sé el nom. Les rego regularment i reviso que la terra sigui humida, però de vegades se m'asseca part d'alguna fulla i no sé si l'he de tallar, o si estic regant-les prou o massa.
M'agradaria poder-li enviar unes fotos de les plantes a algú que en sàpiga i que em resolgui alguns d'aquests dubtes de principiant.
