Sewing2gether All Nations
Sewing2gether All Nations: Caring, Creating, Connecting is a grass roots community-based organisation providing creative upcycling workshops, life skill training and practical support to refugees and asylum seekers who wish to practise English and build new friendships.
We facilitate workshops, conversational cafés, and provide assistance to the refugee community, with an aim to improve the health and wellbeing of the families we engage with.
Sewing2gether All Nations began providing workshops in Mossvale in 2018, and became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation SC052445 in 2023.
Women's Sewing & Creative Workshops Alternate Wednesdays 10.00am
So much of modern activity doesn’t have a physical end result. Sewing can make you any number of items from homeware, clothes, toys and gifts. Sewing is a visual experience, so verbal communication is secondary as we provide step by step demonstrations. Sewing2gether All Nations specialises in textile upcycling using unwanted or discarded fabric, saving it, transforming it, giving it a renewed purpose and uncovering the value that was there all along, taking something that was labelled as damaged goods, rubbish, useless, unwanted, unloved and hopeless, and giving it a new lease of life with all it's amazing flaws! We are delighted to accept donations of unwanted clothing, bedding, curtains etc.

As well as sewing, we spend time chatting and sharing with each other the things that mean a lot to us from our varied cultures. We work closely with other key agencies such as the Scottish Refugee Council and signpost our members to relevant organisations.
