sewing circle

A sewing circle is a group of people, often women, who gather regularly to sew and socialize. Historically, these gatherings provided opportunities for community bonding, skill sharing, and support, especially at times when education and professional opportunities were limited for women. Today, sewing circles continue as social clubs or hobby groups where members work on sewing projects, exchange techniques, and enjoy companionship. They foster creativity, preserve traditional crafts, and promote a sense of community through shared interests.
