Have a hole in your pants and no heart to throw it away? Have an ever growing pile of crafts and scraps growing in the corner of your room? FEAR NOT! Your lovely Olaf EAs present to you, Sunday Stitches! Come for a little while, or a long while, come with a mission, or just for the tea, and make stuff with us!

What should I bring?
Bring whatever you want! Bring a project you are working on, or just a collection of JUNK you don’t know what to do with! We will provide some materials, but if you have a needle/thread/other supplies, make sure to bring them, as we will have a limited amount!

What if I don’t know how to sew?
Dive in with us, and we’ll learn together! Or bring a different project you’d like to work on - or incorporate textiles and sewing into! There is space for all in our corner of CAD :)
