STOP PRESS: On Saturday 19 May 2012, Fosse Arts is hosting Top Stitches, a free sewing class as part of the Square Mile project. There is a choice of two sessions, 10.30am-12.30pm or 1.00pm-3.00pm. The class will use old jeans or trousers to create an individual bag. No experience is needed, and all equipment and materials will be provided - just bring along an old pair of jeans or trousers.
