A feast of free events to wet the appetite of sewers and sewing machine enthusiasts with Collectors Gordon Freegard and Charles Lithgow showing samples from their respective collections and being on hand to discuss machines with other enthusiasts.

Visitors will be able to learn to cut a pattern; use a dressmakers mannequin; share sewing stories; bring in old clothes, textiles, sewing tools for expert advice in the Old Stuff Road Show; browse through vintage and collectable stalls; try a treadle machine; and sort their cuffs from their collars in an ironing competition that is sure to get you all steamed up!
