Meet & Make is a monthly invitation to ''make time for making" in Tooting.

On offer this month, at no cost, is the chance to sit and relax with the restorative craft of hand sewing, using beads. You can create adornments for clothes, like a patch that can be sewn on. They are also a way to personalise a thank you note or greeting card with a keepsake.

Jeni Walker, who runs Meet & Make says, “It’s straight-forward to create a design and once you have done a row or two, you’ll be hooked!”

Tools, materials and inspiration to make something special by hand are provide free of charge. The following equipment will be provided, but if you have extras it would be useful to bring them along.

• Embroidery rings
• Seed beads
• Clothes to adorn

April also brings a new addition to Meet & Make – the Sewing Surgery. You can bring any sewing project along for advice on how to start, the next steps, or even just the time and space to work on it and get it done.

Meet & Make is at Sprout Arts, 74 Moyser Road, Furzedown, SW16 6SQ, every second Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30.

Entry and participation is free. Donations for Sprout are welcomed on the night. Contact Jeni on jeniannewalker@gmail.com for more information.
