Slow Stitching - September
Monday 22 September 2025
Slow Stitching is hand sewing that involves using bits and pieces of fabric, ribbon, lace, buttons, beads, trims and more to create fabulous pieces of fabric art. The idea is to slow down. Breathe. Create.
There are no rules, no right or wrong way. No patterns, no instructions and no judgement. And the best bit? It doesn't have to be perfect! In fact, it's even better if it isn't. Imperfections add character!
We will provide tea, coffee and biscuits and you will have access to all of the wonderful Scrapstore supplies to inspire you.
£3 for members and £5 for non members, places are limited so make sure to book your spot.

Slow Stitching February
Monday 17 February 2025
Slow Stitching is hand sewing that involves using bits and pieces of fabric, ribbon, lace, buttons, beads, trims and more to create fabulous pieces of fabric art. The idea is to slow down. Breathe. Create.
There are no rules, no right or wrong way. No patterns, no instructions and no judgement. And the best bit? It doesn't have to be perfect! In fact, it's even better if it isn't. Imperfections add character!
We will provide tea, coffee and biscuits and you will have access to all of the wonderful Scrapstore supplies to inspire you.
£3 for members and £5 for non members, places are limited so make sure to book your spot.

Rag Rugging
Sunday 9 February 2025
Join us for an introduction to the traditional art of rag rugging - a practical and decorative craft that has been around for hundreds of years. It's the perfect example of creative reuse of materials, which is what we are all about here at the Resourceful Community Scrapstore.
We'll give you a brief overview of the different rag rugging techniques and then you can try it out for yourself. A complete rug would obviously take a while, so in the workshop you'll just be making a sample which you can then use as a decoration on a bag or item of clothing, or just hang on the wall!
We'll provide all the resources and tools you need.
We'll provide hot drinks and biscuits to sustain you while you craft, as well as access to all the Scrapstore resources.
£15 for non-members and £12.50 for members (you'll need your membership number to book the reduced rate.)
This session is aimed at adults and accompanied older children (10+) - please email if you have any questions.
