What is Social Sewing?
Social sewing is a very informal sewing group, started by Rachel of My Messings.
It is attended by sewers based in Melbourne and visitors to Melbourne. We are all super lovely and welcoming, so please come join us! We meet about once a month at GJs Discount Fabrics, in Fairfield.
Can I come?
Of course! It’s open invitation to anybody that wants to join us to sew!
