Welcome to Creative Textiles

Whether you love to sew, upcycle, quilt, or are simply curious to try something new with fabric, you are warmly invited to join us. Our textile sessions are relaxed, creative, and centered around a wonderful mix of community projects and personal crafting.

  • Where: Edward Dunn Memorial Centre, Maltby, S66 &NQ

  • When: Every Tuesday, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm.

  • Who It’s For: These sessions are completely free and tailored specifically for Disabled People, Carers, and PAs.

What to Expect

  • A Friendly & Creative Space: There is no pressure or strict rules—just a supportive environment to share ideas, chat, and craft at your own pace.

  • Community Projects & Making a Difference: We have supplies of craft materials you can use to make quilts for Project Linus Rotherham and Doncaster, Fidget quilts for Crossroads and OSMIS, and bonding hearts. We are always looking for new sewing or knitting ideas to support local community organisations!

  • Bring Your Own Project & Equipment: Most members bring their own sewing machine and a packed lunch. However, we do have one spare sewing machine available if you need to use it. You are also very welcome to bring your own personal crafting or sewing project to work on during the sessions.

  • Refreshments & Treats: We provide tea, coffee, and biscuits—and often, you might be lucky enough to enjoy a homemade cake brought in by a member!

Meet Your Team

Fiona and your volunteer Dawn take it in turns to coordinate and run our sessions each week (Fiona is there on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month).

Whether you’re crafting for a local charity or working on your own project, we are here to help you every stitch of the way.
