The existing Stitching group has proven popular since it was launched in 2022. Therefore, the aim of this additional group is to provide an opportunity for further Shrewsbury u3a members to join this creative activity and enable them to explore a wide range of textile and yarn-based craft activities including sewing, embroidery, quilting, weaving, knitting and crochet.

The Group is open to all abilities ranging from beginners to experts, indeed anyone who enjoys being creative with fabric and yarn and is eager to learn from fellow crafters.

The meeting format, frequency and timing, would be finalised by the members, however, experience with the existing group suggest that to meet for 2 hours twice per month, probably at members’ homes should work well.w group in development

Members may choose to work on individual or group projects, and individual member-led sessions could also provide ‘tasters’ of further activities. There is also an opportunity to focus on different techniques such as dressmaking.
