Location Citadel Leisure Centre
Wednesday 10.00 - 12.00 noon
Sew and Stitch Group. 2018
Known previously as the Dressmaking Group, a name change was needed, as that did not cover the variety of 'sewing and stitching' that takes place!!
We meet every Wednesday in the Citadel, from 10 – 12am., there are 3 sessions in the year and rental is paid at the start of each session, e.g. the block after Easter is 10 weeks and rental is £10.00 for that session. Apart from dressmaking, several of the ladies knit and crochet and sew for premature babies at Crosshouse Hospital, also for various charities and churches.
The group also enjoy a good chat as well as catching up with the latest gossip with a cup of tea or coffee! There are 16 members at the moment and although there is not a waiting list, there is probably only space for 1 or 2 more members; we have 4 sewing machines, scissors, thread, patterns and some materials and trimmings etc. that have been been donated to the Group by people who have given up their hobbies.
We usually have a lunch out before we stop for the summer and again before the Christmas break, this year, for a change, we are hoping to book for a Ladies Day instead of a Christmas Lunch.
