Stitch! originally began as a Stitchclub franchise in January 2008. It became independent a year later when the Stitchclub franchise headquarters folded and has been enjoying making lovely things ever since.

Our aim is to provide the basic skills and enthusiasm which can lead to a practical skill, a rewarding hobby, or even an exciting career … and most importantly to the satisfaction and fun of creating. We don’t just learn how to stitch, but also how to design, manipulate and make.

As you can see from the above collage of projects (all created by Stitch students aged between 7 and 15 years) stitching has so much potential. Not only can you sew on a button and mend a seam – you can make a skirt, a cushion, a bag, a quilt or even a crazy critter… the list really is endless. The skill itself is just the start which opens a world of texture, colour and creating which can be highly addictive.

The classes are run by Sam Harvey, a practising textile artist who has been stitching and making things for as long as she can remember. Clubs and workshops are usually run from our dedicated Stitch! studio, but if you are interested in running a workshop at your school, community centre or workplace, let us know and we will see what can be done.

Call us or send an email if you would like to join one of our Stitch Clubs or enrol your child.
