Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Hi @CatMum

Welcome to the forums.

I love catching up with my bestie.

How do you like your coffee?

I don’t drink hot tea or coffee but I do like iced coffee.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Wow @Toast89 I'm just really getting into sewing with a machine and that can be challenging and time consuming in itself! Hand sewing must take another level of patience, though then it makes me think of how I don't mind when knitting projects take me a long time to complete because it's not only the finished project I enjoy, but the actual process of sitting down and knitting. Is it similar for you and hand sewing?

If you'd like it might be nice to check out the Craft Corner thread, where everyone is encouraged to share their crafts

Hey, been a busy weekend. sorry for not getting back to you sooner but yes, i do enjoy the mindfull yet mindless task of hand sewing. I usually put on something educational or mixhounds chill mix on youtube and just sew when I need some relaxation.

Ill look into the crafty corner thread.

@Shaz51

They joys of internet body doubling and the power of youtube university! I don't doubt its going to become a thing in the future.

I always need subtitles on if someone's talking so that's why I usually just put chill music on. Made nearly 200 pieces in the last week! I'm attempting to use up all the fabrics I have before I pieces them together, gotta use all the colours!

Have you found anyone interesting to watch?
