Sashiko embroidery has been taking the crafting world by storm recently and we are boarding that crafting train too! Our workshops are The Handmade Festival this year sold out in days and we think you Londoner's will love it too. The name Sashiko literally translates into 'little stabs' which honestly is a perfect description for what you do to create entrancing patterns.
During our Sashiko embroidery class you will learn all about the history of this style of embroidery, learn all of our tips and tricks on how to make these stunning geometric designs as well as walk home with a started Sashiko design on your tote bag.
Once you've learned this style of embroidery you'll be dying to try it again, it's that addictive! You can Sashiko everything from clothing, to tote bags, cushion covers, wall hangings . . .

Punch Needle crafting is a very relaxing and therapeutic craft. It's a cross between embroidery and rag rug latch hooking. You can create two different effects at the same time with your tool. One side is flat stitches and the other side has a loopy shaggy look but you can mix and match these effects on the same side for added dimension and texture.
We will be using a beautiful wooden punch needle tool and wooden embroidery hoop with specialised monks cloth fabric for the very best results!

During this workshop, you'll be introduced to the world of fun bead and sequin embroidery and learn all of the basic techniques you need to make this stunning ice cream brooch.
Our resident sequin expert, Daria, will take you through each stitch you'll need to complete the piece, as well as how to finish it off (you will need to do this at home). This is a great project to introduce yourself to sparkly beaded embroidery, or perhaps you already know how to embroider but are looking to stretch your skills! This workshop will help you learn the basic steps and stitches, and with a little bit of practice you will be able to create any design you want.
Your embroidered ice cream will eventually come off your hoop(if you want it to) and you will have the option to turn it into a brooch so you can show it off wherever you go, and trust us, you'll want to make more.
We aim it for beginners, but you will need time and patience. Don't worry, we've got you covered with tea, coffee and cake!
