Canons House, 19 Madeira Rd, Mitcham CR4 4HD, UK
About the event
Bring your sewing project to our Preloved Studio in the beautiful Canons House, Mitcham, and get acquainted with our sewing machines and cutting room. We’ll have skilled volunteers on hand to share their tips and tricks.
Registration is not needed, but we have a limited number of sewing machines. Machines can always be shared between new sewing friends so everyone can progress their projects.
Want to come along but don’t have a project in mind? We’re always looking for sewing volunteers to help us make reusable bags and draft excluders from preloved fabrics, which we will distribute into the community. The bags will help our borough reduce plastic waste, and the draft excluders help us to prevent heat loss in our homes during the winter.
