Stitch Up Club here at Cornish Craft Barn. It’s a relaxed, weekly get-together for anyone who loves—or wants to love—all things stitching and textile arts.
What we all love about it:
There’s no pressure: you bring your project (or ideas) and work at your own pace
The vibe is warm, informal, and friendly — perfect for chatting, sharing tips, or just enjoying creative company
It’s open to all levels: absolute beginner, intermediate, or seasoned stitcher
You get to see what others are up to — it’s inspiring and encouraging
