Annual Charity Sew Day - 27th November 2026
A day of sewing, sharing and giving a little comfort to those who need it most.
Every year, we bring together local sewers and wonderful volunteers at Create and Sew Studio for a special day of sewing for charity.
Now in its fourth year, our annual Charity Sew Day is all about making a difference to patients and families supported by our local St. Catherine's hospice. Together, we make mastectomy pillows to help ease discomfort during and after breast cancer treatment, along with syringe driver bags to provide comfort, dignity and practical support for patients receiving hospice care.
It's a real team effort, and you don't need to be an experienced sewer to take part! Whether you can sew, cut fabric, stuff hearts, prepare bags, make a brew or donate materials, there's a job for everyone.
We work together throughout the day, making as many items as we possibly can, while enjoying a little creativity, conversation and community spirit along the way.

Here are some images from our previous Charity Sew Days over the last 3 years. Massive thank you to the fabulous sewing community we have in the North West of England, giving up their time to come and help.
Fancy making a difference in your own community?
You don't have to be local to get involved! If you're part of a sewing group, run a craft studio or simply enjoy sewing for others, you could make mastectomy pillows for your local hospice, hospital or someone you know who might benefit from a little extra comfort.
Julie Making for Charity has a wonderful pattern available to help you get started.
