Sewing Weekender

The Sewing Weekender will be taking place on the 28/29th June this year. For anyone new to the weekender it's an online event that provides amazing video content for attendees to consume, as they work on a sewing project at home. If you wanted to find out more about this years line up then you can see the full rundown here.  The videos will remain available after the Sewing Weekender too, so if you aren’t free that weekend you can still purchase a ticket and enjoy them at your leisure.

We have always given a proportion of ticket sales to charity and this year we are looking forward to supporting Fine Cell Work, Furnishing Futures, Endometriosis UK & Little Village
