Poncho Project Sewing Events

We hold regular sewing events throughout the year, with a focus on extra sessions in the winter as this is when we send our ponchos to Calais. These are fun, informal sessions and no experience is necessary. If you have a sewing machine and equipment that you can bring that would be great, but not essential. Children are welcome as long as they are fully supervised by an adult. During these events, there will be the opportunity to:

Make ponchos to send to Calais
Make ponchos to sell in Cambridge and online to raise funds for more blankets
Make crafts made from offcuts to raise funds for more blankets

Location: Hartington Grove Meeting House, CB1 7UB (some parking available)

Spring and Summer 2018

We have had a really successful spring and summer, making well over 300 ponchos ready to send to Calais in the winter. We also made OffCut Crafts and upcycled tent crafts which we sold for fundraising. There have been old and new faces, with people learning and sharing skills and stories.
