Sewing Bee
Bee a part of our creative community.
Join our community and take action one stitch at a time. We want to highlight the flaws of the current fashion system, have some fun, learn new skills and raise vital funds for ACEarts (ACE) through a fashion show and grand garment auction.
Coming to a drop -in: You will need to supply your garment, we recommend you select an old piece of clothing you no longer want or purchase something from a charity shop. We have some embellishment fabric, braids and threads but advise you to also bring your own to work on your garment at the session.
Sustainable Fashion week 20-29th September morning drop in sessions Friday 20th & 27th 10.30-12.30 all welcome.
Finished garments will need to be delivered to ACEarts the last week of February 2025, you can drop them off during our opening hours that week or mail them to ACEarts, Market Place, Somerton TA117NB.
Please join our mailing list to be notified of the date and details of the fashion show and grand garment auction.
