Made from snuggly 100% pure wool felt in a selection of beautiful colourways, this little treasure will surely become a favourite of a special little someone!

Sit, relax and chat while you stitch, embroider, knit, crochet, whatever! Maybe you need a hand with sorting out a crafting boo-boo (we all have those!) – we’ll have an experienced Mindful Maker or two on hand to assist with sorting it out for you. If you’d like to come but aren’t working on anything in particular, we have small, fun crafty kits available for you.

Beyond the basics, our other needle-working classes give you the opportunity to expand your skill set in a supportive environment with expert guidance. Email us to join our waitlist to continue learning with us in extending your embroidery stitch repertoire, make a stunning needle-keeper, or an heirloom piece like a personalised linen napkin and so much more.
