SI Club Chester obtained fabrics that were destined for landfill disposal and donations of fabric from other sources. A member of the Club sourced three free sewing machines. These were serviced, electrically (PAT) tested and donated to Tomorrow’s Women Chester (TWC) Also, a member of the Club purchased an iron and donated it to TWC. Two members of the Club organise and run the sewing classes at the premises of TWC. A member of staff, from TWC, has joined the class as a participant/observer.
The members of the group chose to make draught excluders, for the winter project, to help keep rooms warmer and energy bills lower. The second project has been to make tote bags to cut down on the use of plastic carrier bags.
