FULLY BOOKED Learn to stitch and create a mandala Thurs 30th July

Stitching (and other textile crafts) have long been hailed as an antidote to the stresses of modern living. Slow stitching acts like meditation, where you concentrate on the fabric and thread in front of you, being creative, and letting the thoughts in your mind recede. Join me for a relaxed lesson, learning a few basic stitches to create a mandala. We'll start by learning the stitches, and then apply them to a prescribed pattern for the mandala. After the lesson you can continue working on your beautiful piece of stitched artwork with the new stitches you have learned. If you're already a seasoned stitcher, join me to apply your knowledge on a piece of work that will calm your mind and stimulate your creative juices.

The event is free if you're bringing your own fabric, thread and needle. If you'd like me to send you a kit, there will be a charge of £5 for the materials. This event is open to everyone, although kits are reserved for addresses in the UK, and you need to register for the event 1 week beforehand, so that I have time to mail you the goodies.

Please join me for this slow stitch lesson, where I share with you the lessons I have learned from stitching my own manadala and other 'stitch meditation' pieces.
