You will only need to book a ticket here if you are coming along ready to share your skills with others, if you are coming to learn from others just turn up on the day, we’ll be really pleased to see you.

Sewists and Menders ready to share their skills – we’re looking for people to show others how to darn, mend, patch and make things good again, or if you are confident sharing the basics of using a sewing machine that would be wonderful too – so, if that’s you, we’d really like to know you are coming so please book a free ticket on this eventbrite page and take the opportunity to tell us a bit more about what you are bringing on the booking form.

Our cafe will be open, serving hot/cold drinks and lovely cakes, plus lots of other making activities, and all of Scrap and Sunny Bank Mills to explore.
