The Big Sew Off 2024

Alma from SewOverItLondon tells us about The Big Sew Off, a 24 hour charity sewathon now in its 3rd year.

The Big Sew Off starts on Thursday 7 November at 10am UK time

As Alma says: 'The Sew Over It Team will be sewing at the HQ based at the gorgeous New Craft House in East London, together with many exciting sewing personalities. We'll be raising money for mental health charity Mind and sewing clothes to donate to Give Your Best.

The whole 24 hours will be live-streamed on YouTube and we'll be going LIVE on The Big Sew Off Instagram account throughout the sewathon, so make sure you're following us!

We can't wait to put our sewing to good use and we hope you'll join us! Donate to our JustGiving Page to help us raise money for mental health charity Mind and find out all the ways you can get involved here.'

There is a growing list of hubs popping up around the UK. Follow  Big Sew Off Instagram account to find out more.
