What is Rose Tinted Rags?
A creative arts project and vintage textile shop packed with treasures! From fabrics and patterns to wool, clothing, and rare finds—everything is donated, making our space an Aladdin’s cave for makers and artists.
What would I do if I joined?
We keep things fun and friendly with small groups, lots of support, and plenty of experimenting.
Plus, we visit galleries and museums for inspiration and showcase our work in professional exhibitions.

Here’s what some of the current team members say about Rose Tinted Rags:
“I didn’t know how to use a sewing machine before and now I’m a bit of a whizz. I practice at home too”.
“I like seeing the end result, it is satisfying after working hard”.
“I feel proud of what I make, they go in exhibitions which is nice, people comment on your work and give you compliments”.
