10am Thursday 7th to 10am Friday 8th November 2024, UK time.
JOIN A BIG SEW OFF HUB:
Join in our fundraising efforts by popping into a Hub to sew in the company of other sewists!
> Ray Stitch, Islington, London
> Sister Mintaka, Coventry
> Sew Confident, Glasgow
> Jenny Stitches, Barrow-in-Furness
> The Auld Atelier, Paisley Hub
> Fabrications, Hackney, London
> The Fabric Boutique, Ashby-de-la-Zouch
We'll be adding more Hubs as they are confirmed, so keep checking here and on our Instagram account.
Or why not create your own Hub by getting a few friends together for a few hours of sewing and chatting?!
WATCH THE LIVE STREAM:
The Sew Over It Team and other sewing personalities will be sewing at the Big Sew Off HQ and we'll be live-streaming the full 24 hours on our YouTube channel!
Tune in to see how we're getting on and cheer us on by joining in the chat to keep us going, especially in the small hours if you're a night owl or you're in a different time zone 😁
We will also be doing lots of Live videos from The Big Sew Off Instagram account throughout the 24 hours, so make sure you're following us!
SAY HELLO AT THE HQ:
The Big Sew Off HQ will be based at the gorgeous New Craft House in East London. The shop will be open on Thursday 7th November until 9pm, so pop in for some fabric shopping and cheer us on during our sewathon!
DONATE MONEY:
No amount is too small to contribute to our fundraising efforts for mental health charity Mind! For the past two years we've managed to raise over £20k for this incredible charity thanks to hundreds of donations big and small.
Donate via our JustGiving page here and be sure to include your name and email address if you'd like to be entered in our prize draw. There are so many amazing sewing goodies to be won!
FUNDRAISE WITH US:
Whether you fancy sewing for the full 24 hours or just for a few, set your own challenge and fundraising goal and get sponsored by family and friends to help us raise money for charity!
Create your own JustGiving fundraising page and then join our team here so everything goes into the same pot for mental health charity Mind but you'll be able to keep track of how much you've personally raised.
DONATE CLOTHES:
Have a wardrobe clear out and donate your best pre-loved clothes to Give Your Best so that people in need can shop them for free!
Even better, sew up something special during our sewathon to donate to this amazing organisation. They are especially looking for plus size and children's clothing for the current season, so think autumn and winter.
Find out how to donate your clothes and makes here.
