& Sew On

‘& Sew On…’ is our exciting new sewing activity, bringing together expert sewers who meet weekly to lead workshops to teach others how to sew. The community formed last year to recognise and celebrate the wealth of sewing expertise among the women at JRS UK, and includes people from all over the world, including DRC, Hong Kong, India, Peru and the UK, all with different immigration status and citizenship.

If you would like to support the group, you can donate sewing machines, strong fabrics, and ironing rules, or sew a bag yourself to give to someone in immigration detention.

Want to sew with us? The pattern is here: The One and a Half Bag Tiled

"Sewing is more than stitches and fabric; it is patience, precision, and the art of bringing creativity to life-one thread at a time."
