sEWING
How are workshops run?
On a weekly basis every Tuesday, and headed by our Fashion Director and President Rebecca Simpson.
Beginners sessions will have set projects to teach the basics e.g sewing in a straight line, interfacing, attaching zips. The aim is to build a good skillset to design and produce your project for the fashion show.
Advanced sessions will have less instruction to allow time with and usage of the societies equipment for individual projects.
Do I have to pay extra?
Yes. A one-off fee is required on top of your membership purchase. This is to fund any sewing materials you will be using and as insurance for the sewing machines.
When/Where are sewing sessions?
Sessions will approximately run 6-8:30pm, with 6-7:15 being for beginners and 7:15-8:30 for those experienced or looking to freestyle. Location will differ depending on room availability, but announced promptly.

When are socials?
We don’t have a fixed date for socials, they will likely be every other week, but do check our social media for updates.

We understand that everyone has their own idea of fun, so we’ll be running plenty of sober and non-sober socials to welcome and accommodate everyone.

We offer a welcoming and friendly environment to enjoy and meet new people.
