Sew for JOY! - Introduction to sewing!

Welcome back to our first class for 2025!

These classes have been created to form a safe space that is inclusive, disability accessible, affordable and social, whilst also learning a new skill that provides much reward. These classes are as much about learning, as they are about sharing, engaging with others and collaborative learning. 

Are you ready to begin your sewing journey?
