With Sarah Youngson, stitch by hand using sustainable materials at the Hobbycraft in Birmingham Selly Oak on 13 March at 10:30am.

Enjoy creating a unique hand stitched piece of textile art using discarded fabric. Fabric pieces will be layered on to a backing fabric to create a background for hand stitching. You will have the choice of what you wish to create but examples will be available for inspiration. A variety of threads and embellishments will be available for you to choose from.

The aim of the workshop is to enjoy the process of slow stitching by hand using sustainable materials and to take away ideas that can be replicated easily at home.

To note:

This event is for those aged 16 and over.

Cancellation and refunds given up to 7 days before the event takes place. No refunds will be given for cancellations under 7 days.

Capacity for this workshop is 9 people.

Equipment used in the workshop will be available to purchase afterwards in store.
