CraftyStitchers Leicestershire

We are a long established group who share an interest in embroidery and textiles. Although we are affiliated to Embroiderers’ Guild we are an Independent group and currently have a membership of 36.

We meet monthly at Braunstone West Social Centre, off Braunstone Lane, Leicester LE3 3FT from 2 – 4pm on the second Saturday of the month.

Our meetings are planned for the year. They are a mixture of practical sewing or textile techniques and outside speakers and some workshops. We are a friendly and sociable group and welcome visitors and new members. We also have a sales table and provide tea and coffee.

Our meeting in September, Lorraine Ellison, a member of Wymeswold Textile Group, will be telling us about her time spent in Peru and showing us her collection of textiles from the area.

Our subscription is £40 per year from 1st September, visitors £5 a meeting.

Anyone is welcome to join us, whether you are a novice or more experienced. Our aims are to encourage members to enjoy textiles in all forms and to learn new skills.

If you would like to join us or want some more information please contact Susan Flint, Chair, on 0116 4299458 or email me using susanflint61@talktalk.net
