York Embroiderers and Stitchers Programme 2021/2022

At every meeting, in the morning it's Stitch Club and Social Stitching. Stitch Club is a rolling programme of workshop sessions run by our members. For those members not taking part in one of the Stitch Club workshops, there's Social Stitching - just sitting and sewing and chatting. 

In the afternoons we have a varied programme of external speakers and tutors, plus member-led activities. 

There's no meeting in June 2022 as the hall is unavailable, however there are two meetings in May.
