Sew Good
Providing women with a chance to learn new skills and empower them to help others!
Our most recent project was a sewing group for vulnerable and disadvantaged women in Dorset; learning textile skills and creating products to raise money for a cause of their choosing! These monthly sessions were a great way to learn new skills in a safe space and make new friends along the way.
