Members of Redditch sewing group celebrate becoming self-sufficient

Redditch Editorial 31st Mar, 2019   0

MEMBERS of a Redditch sewing group celebrated becoming self-sufficient by having a cuppa and a slice of a cake.

Krafty Sew and Sew (KSS), based at St Andrew’s Church, has relied on funding from Church Hill Big Local (CHBL) for the last three years. But now it’s officially able to stand on its own two feet after seeing its membership soar.

CHBL aims to bring people together to knit, natter and sew and make their area a better place to live.

Chair of KSS, Yvonne Earl said: “We started out with just four people but now we have more than 30.




“Our partnership with CHBL definitely helped us get off the ground. We can’t thank the team behind it enough.”

Maurine Price, aged 71, said: “I love it here because it’s more than just sewing – it’s a real social occasion.”


The group meets every Tuesday from 1pm to 3pm. For more visit www.churchhillbiglocal.org.uk/kraftysew
