Stitch Saturdays

Informal meetings are held on the first Saturday of the month, 10.30am–12.30pm, at Surbiton Library. They are an opportunity to stitch and socialise with other members. A project is available to join in on or you can bring your own work to progress. We just ask for a small donation towards material costs if you participate in the project. Find out more
