First up: Christmas

Swap wrapping paper for handmade, reusable gift bags. Volunteer sewers make the bags, we sell them in the Shed, and the profits help keep the Shed going.

Two ways to join in

Sew It Alone - collect a pack of fabric and ribbon from the Shed and sew at home.
Sew Social - bring your machine to our group session at the Settlement; tea and materials provided.

Our sewing guide shows you what to make - download the instructions here. Stuck? Join one of our online drop-in help sessions.

Spare fabric? Drop it in the basket at the Shed. Anything we can't use goes to local charity shops.
