The Stitch: Creativity and Community in West Norwood

The Stitch is a friendly volunteer-led group in West Norwood where people come together to sew, knit, upholster, and share ideas. Open to all skill levels, the group welcomes complete beginners as well as experienced makers.

Sessions take place on the first and third Saturday of each month, from 10 am to 1 pm, at the West Norwood Health & Leisure Centre. Each meeting offers a mix of guided workshops and time for personal projects, so everyone has the chance to try something new or work on their own creations.

Members are encouraged to bring a basic sewing kit and any fabric they’d like to use, but there are always some supplies available for those who need them. The atmosphere is relaxed, sociable, and supportive - making it a great way to learn, create, and connect with others in the community.

  • 4 October – Snip, Snip with Gabrielle
  • 18 October – Own projects
