Our fortnightly Community Craft Club is an evening that provides a space to bring along your current crafting or mending project, sewcialise with other crafters and get support and tips with your makes. It is also an opportunity to access our studio equipment and resources – sewing / over locker machines, dressmaking scissors, iron, our cutting table and workshop haberdashery stash!

Craft Club operates on a drop in basis, but if you would like to use a sewing machine * we do ask you to book in advance as we only put out 4 sewing machines for the session. To ensure a fair rotation of machine usage, you can book a machine every other craft club (once a month) You are of course welcome to still attend with hand work! 

There is also a selection of different coloured sewing threads, mending yarns, haberdashery and fabric offcuts (suitable for repair or practicing) available that you can use as part of your Craft Club subs.

* Basic sewing machine skills required. If you’ve never used a sewing machine before we recommend attending our “Beginners Sewing 1” class first. 

Please Note:  This session is self directed. It is not a tutored session. It is very popular, and we try to spread our time and love amongst the whole group, so are unable to teach new skills or support complex or large projects.

The kinds of projects that would be suitable to bring along to Craft Club:

• Clothes mending / alterations – hand or machine sewing
• Ongoing dressmaking projects
• Small patchwork items
• Hoop embroidery or cross stitch work
• Ongoing crochet & knitting projects

Price: £5

Includes tea & biscuits. Feel free to bring along additional snacks if you wish!

Please Note: The group meets in the Fabrications studio (which is downstairs from the shop via 12 steps) Please ring the doorbell on arrival (located on the top left hand side of the shop door)
