Make Do And Mend class in London (Greenwich)

In case anyone is interested, there is a lovely textile crafts class going on in Greenwich, SE London, on Tuesdays between 10 and 12, dedicated to the principles of Make Do And Mend.
It is in Greeenwich Community College, Royal Hill, London SE10. The website for the college, for further info, is https://www.gcc.ac.uk
I attended last term and that's where I turned an old pair of curtains into 3 roman blinds. This term they are doing more household stuff, including patchwork cushion covers etc... but I think that everybody can work on their own project, the only requirement is to stick to the Make Do And Mend theme. The teacher is great, I have known her for many years and she is just the bees knees in all things "textile", you could not get better expertise than hers, and she is really nice!
It is very reasonably priced too and for people on benefits it costs around £20 for the full term.
I have re-enrolled and hope to see other OSers (there are still a few spaces) there!

Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).
