Dublin Sewcial Club ¦ Free Meetup
Time & Location
03 Dec 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
