Our Stitch Clubs have proven so popular that we now have a monthly sewing club on a Saturday morning.
Our Saturday Stitch Club is open to children age 7 - 17 and is recommended for those children that can't make it after school, due to other commitments or location. If you are available during the week, please consider our after school Stitch Clubs.
Please note that availability for this club will come on a first come, first serve basis & you will need to book your child in monthly to reserve their spot.
Our upcoming stitch club sessions:
Saturday 10th May, 10am - 1pm - Sew a Backpack (optional) or bring your own project
Saturday 14th June, 10am - 1pm - Sew a Backpack continued or bring your own project
Saturday 5th July, 10am - 1pm - activity TBC
Saturday 2nd August, 10am - 1pm - activity TBC
No August date
The club teaches children how to sew using a sewing machine. We may well do hand sewing from time to time but the majority of the sessions will involve using a machine.
Sewing machines are provided, as is all equipment. If your child has a sewing machine, we do suggest them bringing it with them if possible so they can learn on their own machine.
**Please note materials are not included in the cost, you will be asked to provide these as additional. Upon booking you will be notified of what materials you will need for each session. **
You have the option at each session to undertake the set project for that month or you can bring your own project in from home and have assistance on this.
How does the sewing club work?
We ask for children age 7+ to attend, as they can come without the need for a parent/guardian to supervise. A parent/guardian is welcome to stay for the session/s if they feel necessary but please notify us beforehand. Our craft tutor is fully insured, first aid qualified and DBS checked and can provide copies of the same should you require them.
Minimum/maximum numbers
There are a maximum of 8 places on each session, a minimum of 3 attendees must be booked on in order for this session to run. Please book your child's space. Spaces come on a first come, first serve basis.
Please note we do ask all new attendees joining the club to undertake our beginners sewing workshop or a minimum of an hour one to one sewing lesson, in order to teach them the basics of using a sewing machine before they start. Please bear in mind both the sewing workshop and lesson will be chargeable.
