Stitch! may no longer have a bricks-and-mortar presence in Palmers Green, but they still very much exist. You can buy materials and accessories for making your own clothes online, and they still run their classes, now at several venues, including the Fox, MyTime, Arbeit Studios and the impressive new community hub at Firs Farm. A new venue this month is Pearsons department store in Enfield Town.
While Stitch! customers are predominantly women, this week we feature the story of a man whose wish to learn to crochet was frustrated by his mother's unexpected death. Jana has now, thanks to Stitch!, not only mastered that and other crafting skills, but has made some new friends.
