Stitches In Time
Stitches in Time is a participatory arts and education charity with a social enterprise arm based in Tower Hamlets.
Set up in 1993 as a community project aimed at celebrating the area’s rich cultural heritage, we do more than just sewing, our creative projects are co-designed with users in response to their needs, to empower individuals and build strong, inclusive, and cohesive communities. Our weekly classes provide a space for local women, not in work, to come and learn basic sewing and garment construction techniques, taught by one Bengali and one Arabic speaking women. Industrial and domestic machinery is used for women to familiarise themselves with skills needed to sew almost any item. These over subscribed classes are only open to women who are not working at the moment, and there is a waiting list.45 GoodGymers have supported Stitches In Time with 2 tasks.
