Get crafty and stitch your own cool bookmark to keep your place in style!

🧵 Cross-Stitch Your Own Bookmark

Imagine spending a few hours completely away from your screen...

You arrive, choose your colours and pattern, settle in with a cup of tea, and slowly watch your own little embroidered bookmark come to life.

No notifications. No pressure. No need to be “creative enough.”

Just colourful thread, simple stitches, good conversation, and a handmade bookmark you'll be able to take home and actually use.

Why spend another afternoon scrolling?

You could spend another few hours switching between TikTok, Netflix, and Instagram...

Or you could spend them learning something new:

✨ Learn the basics of cross-stitch

✨ Choose a design and colours you love

✨ Create your own embroidered bookmark

✨ Enjoy tea, treats and a cosy creative atmosphere

✨ Meet new people in a relaxed setting

✨ Leave with something handmade by you

Why Cross-Stitch?

Cross-stitch is one of those hobbies that feels surprisingly calming once you start.

The repetitive movement encourages you to slow down, focus on one small thing at a time, and give your mind a break from constant notifications and screens.

And the best part?

At the end of the workshop, you'll have created something beautiful and practical that can live inside your favourite book.
