Learn sewing techniques and work on your own projects in a supportive environment

  • Gain confidence in your sewing techniques and learn new skills in hand sewing or on sewing machines
  • Learn how to fix clothes and textiles
  • Free for those who are over 19 and unemployed, on a low wage or over 50.

Want to learn to sew? Have clothing that needs fixing? Need some encouragement to achieve your creative potential?

Community Threads is a relaxed and welcoming group aimed towards helping people gain confidence with their sewing skills whilst spending time with others. Through demonstrations and individual one to one support, learners will be shown a range of skills and be able to practice using sewing machines or with hand sewing to develop own projects and explore creative ideas.

Everyone is welcome - especially those with an interest in meeting other like-minded people looking to learn sewing skills and explore creative ideas.

You'll be welcomed by experienced and enthusiastic staff who aim to bring out and celebrate your strengths. You'll be encouraged to explore your own ideas and supported to achieve your own goals, whatever they might be.

This drop in offer is for all levels; from those who wish to enhance their own artistic work to beginners who would like to try a new process. All materials and equipment are provided – you just need to turn up and have a lot of fun.

Free refreshments and a warm welcome guaranteed.
