Our event, titled "Stitch It," is an evolution of our monthly "Sip + Sew" gathering, which has been well-received in the past. This month, we are excited to host Stitch It at Gantley's Tavern, where participants will have the opportunity to sip, sew, and repair in a social setting. This event is held in support of Fashion Revolution New Zealand and the Koha will go towards Dove Hospice and Wellness trust for providing us with hand sewing guides.

Here are the details for this month's Stitch It event:

Event: Stitch It 

Date: 21st March 2024

Description: Stitch It is an inclusive event where community members can come together to learn and practice the art of hand sewing, as well as share tips, tricks, and stories related to sewing, textiles, and repairs. Our primary goal is to empower individuals to extend the lifespan of their clothing through mending and upcycling, thereby reducing waste and making a positive impact on the environment. 

Participants are welcome to bring their own projects or join us in learning hand sewing skills. This event is family friendly. Additionally, attendees will enjoy discounts on food and drinks at Gantley's Tavern.
