About us


Stitches in Time is a community led visual and textile arts organisation established in 1993, based in Tower Hamlets we work within schools and community locations throughout London and the UK.

We provide a forum to enable culturally diverse groups to work together through educational development programmes to raise levels of achievement, confidence levels and skill-based learning for women, young people and older people. Our work includes partnerships between individuals within the voluntary, statutory and private sectors, to enhance cohesion across cultural and generational divides.

FabricWorks is the enterprise arm of Stitches in Time.
We have a fully equipped workshop and an enterprise room to provide training. As part of work experience on community arts programmes and commissions.

FabricWorks generates opportunities for local women to learn a high standard of textile skills and progress onto working within the production team. This team works to commission for commercial and public sector clients. All profits from FabricWorks are for the benefit of continuing our community development and education programmes.
