Stitch It, Don't Ditch It!

Stitch It, Don't Ditch It! returns to Beach House Park on Saturday 14 November, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. It's a family-run session run by CREW — Climate Resilience Centre Worthing, and the idea is simple: a warm, welcoming space to mend, up-cycle or revamp your clothes. If you've got a jumper with a hole, a pair of trousers that need shortening, or something you're just not quite sure how to fix, this is where you take it.

One of the best things about it is that you don't need to bring your own kit. Friendly volunteers are on hand to help, and the resources are free at the door — sewing machines, thread, needles and buttons are all provided. So if you've never touched a sewing machine in your life, you can still turn up and get something sorted. It's as much about learning as it is about fixing, and it's a family-run session, so it's fine to bring the kids along too.

The session has long run on the third Saturday of the month, and it's now found a home in the new Community Hub, which is housed in the New Pavilion building. You'll find it next to Palm Court Cafe in Beach House Park, on a stretch of seafront that often plays host to fairs. It's a handy spot if you're already out for a walk along the coast.

It runs from 2:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday 14 November, and it's free to attend. The Community Hub is in the New Pavilion building, Beach House Park, 55 Lyndhurst Road, Worthing, BN11 2DB.
