Sewing Weekender
A weekend packed with sewing inspiration. This event takes place online annually and features video content for attendees to watch and participate in, as they work on a sewing project at home.
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 watch as they work on a sewing project at home. If you want to find out more about this year's line up then you can see the full list 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, and Little Village.
