CLOTHES MAKING & ALTERING WORKSHOP
Tue, Sep 15, 5:30 PM**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/clothes-making-altering-workshop-eve-6-11-weeks-2/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/clothes-making-altering-workshop-eve-6-11-weeks-2/) **⋆⋆⋆** Do you want to jump into making your own clothes but have never used a pattern? Do you wish to copy a beloved piece of clothing? Would you like to learn how to adjust your own pattern to fit just you? Learn how to take body measurements, read and alter a commercial pattern to fit, lay out and cut fabric and construct a finished garment to a high standard using one of our Janome 525s or Bernina 1008 series sewing machines. During the sessions of this small group of learners you will gain confidence and improve any sewing skills you already have. If you have never used a machine, we can guide you through making a simple garment from a purchased pattern. Bring your own pattern or use one of our small selection. If you have sewing experience but want to start creating your own patterns, you can learn how to create a bespoke piece of clothing. You can also bring a piece of clothing to alter or fix. We supply the basics and the calico you will use to make a ‘toile’ (an inexpensive mock up) to save you ruining your chosen final fabric. Along the way, talented tutor and seamstress will teach you lots of techniques and tips to ramp up your sewing passion. This is a perfect class if you have been teaching yourself so far, or if your last project was made a long time ago at school. **Suitable for:** Suitable for beginners, enjoyable for those with experience. A good level of English and basic math skills are useful. **Next start date:** Check our website for more dates: [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/clothes-making-altering/](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/clothes-making-altering/)

Sep 19 Learn American Mahjong Workshop
Sat, Sep 19, 2:30 PMThis professionally designed workshop is perfect for beginners looking to learn American Mahjong, with instructor to guide you every step. ### **🀄** **Learn To Play American Mahjong** 🎉 Are you looking to learn American Mahjong specifically? Or are you already a Mahjong player, curious how different the American version really is? It’s hard to find a place to learn and play American Mahjong in London — that’s why our Mahjong school has expanded to include it. ### **✅ American Mahjong Is Unique!** We play most Mahjong styles at our club, and people often ask if we have a preference, or what really sets them apart. Chinese Mahjong is our root, but American Mahjong brings entirely new rules and fun mechanics like the Charleston. And let’s not forget the stylish tiles and mats — we’ve imported sets straight from the US, because if you’re playing American style, you’ve got to complete the whole look! ### **✅ What Will You Learn?** Starting from the fundamentals of American Mahjong — tile recognition, game setup, reading the National Mah Jongg League card, and, most importantly, how to play a full game with confidence. 🀄 **No prior experience required** — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn! 😊 American Mahjong isn’t as beginner-friendly as Chinese Mahjong. This first workshop covers all the foundations, but you’ll want two more sessions to really get comfortable — that’s what our own learning and teaching experience has taught us. It took us around 100 hours of play to get truly confident, which is why we’ve split the tutorials into three parts to help you graduate. ### 🎓 Three Sessions to Graduate • **Workshop 1** — How to play a full game • **Workshop 2** — Strategies in different stages • **Workshop 3** — Scoring and being flexible Ideally, you’ll join our Learner workshop three times, and we’ll update your tutorial along the way to help you graduate. Just as important: **learn by playing**. After covering the basics, you’ll practice with other players at the table for real game experience in a supportive environment. Our experienced instructor will guide you every step of the way — ask questions anytime! ### **📦 What's Included?** ✔️ **Mahjong Instructor** – Friendly expert guidance while you learn ✔️ **Mahjong Worksheets** – Step-by-step support designed for beginners ✔️ **Free Tea & Coffee** – Sip and play ☕ ✔️ **Festive Treats** – Enjoy special Asian snacks (when available!) 🍡 ### **🧑🤝🧑 A Social Game In A Social Space** Mahjong isn't just about strategy—it's about connection. Come solo or bring friends and family! Our workshops are welcoming, inclusive, and full of good vibes. You might even leave with new Mahjong buddies. ✨ 🧩 **Note:** While Mahjong is traditionally played with four players, there may be times when table numbers don’t divide evenly. In those cases, we’ll either combine players across tables to form full games or teach you how to enjoy 2- or 3-player Mahjong variations—so you’ll always get maximum play time and fun. ### 📅 **Event Details** 📍 **Where:** Aldgate Tower (just outside Aldgate East Station, Exit 1) 👋 **When:** Every other Saturdays 3:30-5:30pm 📝 **Includes:** Worksheets, expert guidance, tea & coffee, and unbeatable vibes ### **Visiting Us** 1. Each attendee must be registered to our building in addition to the Eventbrite ticketing. If you book two tickets, we will need both individuals’ full names and email addresses for registration. 2. On **Friday of the same week**, you will receive an email from Aldgate Tower with your **building entry invitation**.
