Meet other local people who like to do all sorts of sewing, including garments, home decorations and crafts.

Of course if you just want to do your own projects and want a bit of company that's ok too. Just join in!

In today's society so many people feel alone and isolated. The more people we get to meet and join up with, the more we develop a sense of belonging.
