We are a friendly group of all ages who have a real love of sewing and textiles. We are not just all ladies, but we have men that do some wonderful creations using sewing and textile base for their particular art. A lovely way of meeting new friends, getting to grips with the newest form of sewing and embroidery through our various workshops and day trips out. If you have never sewed or would like to brush up on your particular interest we will do our best to help and get you started. We not only do embroidery but we have people to even teach you how to knit or crochet as well. All are classed at textiles! Ever wanted to try a particular style of textile art, but not sure if it is for you then come and try one of our workshops that we have once a month. Most materials are provided free or there might be a small charge. But we endeavour to get you thinking, involved and creating, but above all share our love of all things textile. If you have a half finished project and are stuck for ideas, techniques or simply a guiding hand then we will give you the help needed. Several times a year we have exhibitions and a yearly competition. Do come and pay us a visit. A warm welcome awaits you! We meet Tuesday fortnightly at Firstsite in Colchester. Come and see what we do. There is more to us than you might think!
