Our Women’s Sewing Group is a long-running, welcoming community group that has been supporting women in Easton, Bristol, for over 10 years. As a volunteer, you’ll support women, mainly from South East Asian communities, to learn new sewing skills, get creative, and build confidence in a relaxed and social setting.
