Dublin Sewcial Club ¦ Free Meetup
Time & Location
05 Nov 2025, 19:00
John's Bar & Haberdashery, 61 Thomas St, Saint Catherine's, Dublin 8, Ireland
About the Event
Dublin Sewcial Club meet-ups are free events for anyone interested in meeting other stitchers. All skill levels and techniques welcome. We started this group to try to meet more stitchers in person, rather than just being friends on social media! We'll aim to meet up regularly (once a month) to stitch 'n' bitch at John's Bar & Haberdashery on Thomas Street. We're generally there from 7-9pm but sometimes stay later, so feel free to join us at any time!
Bring along some stitching to do while we drink and chat and share our tips, advice and ideas with each other!
Please note: while we often share tips and advice, this is not a class or workshop. John's Bar have given us the space free of charge so it is expected that you buy a drink or some food while there

Irish meets Mexican - learn the basics of hand embroidery
Time & Location
25 Oct 2025, 13:00 – 16:00
be alice studio, Studio 4, 65 Crumlin Rd, Saint James, Dublin 12, D12 EP4F, Ireland
About the Event
This class is suitable for compete beginners.
All the materials and equipment you need will be provided on the day. Your kit will include fabric, threads, needles and instructions. Your materials are included in the price of the class, and you'll have the opportunity to buy extra materials and equipment if you wish.
Embroidery is a slow process, so the piece will not be completed within the class. But we will make sure that you are confident enough in everything you've learned, to finish the work at home.
Places must be booked in advance as I cannot accept walk-ins on the day.
