"I would thoroughly recommend the School of Stitch

"I would thoroughly recommend the School of Stitched Textiles to anyone who is interested in improving skills they already have or learning new skills. The modules are easy to follow but at the same time challenge you to create something you would not have normally thought about creating.⁠
⁠
My advice to anybody considering a course with the School of Stitched Textiles is to just do it. I spent months mulling it over: Should I or shouldn’t I? Was I good enough? Would I struggle with the course? Everyone is so helpful and encouraging. I enjoyed it so much I wish I had done it sooner."⁠
⁠
Wise words by one of our recent graduates Myra Velk. Take at look her personal account of her Creative Journey.⁠

"Machine Embroidery with School of Stitched Textil

"Machine Embroidery with School of Stitched Textiles was the perfect choice. I learnt so much, from researching an artist, something that I had never done before even although I attend an art class, to learning reverse applique which was also new to me. Learning about the different stitch techniques that can be done on a sewing machine and free machine stitching was a favourite. I also enjoyed the design module which really made me think about how important the design aspect of a piece is." ⁠

Feast your eyes on this incredible folky, majestic

Feast your eyes on this incredible folky, majestic, mythically inspired piece by our Hand Embroidery student, Sally-Ann Duffy. ⁠
⁠
'The Cailleach of Lough an Leagh' took Sally-Ann over 100 hours to stitch! But WOW, wasn't it worth it!?⁠
⁠
What a great design, composition and concept! 😍⁠

"I have enjoyed the course and have learnt new ski

"I have enjoyed the course and have learnt new skills. Colour, contrast and texture are important elements in my work and I discovered that fabric and thread, used as a fine art medium, best expresses my personal vision." Denis Dent, Hand Embroidery Graduate.⁠

Retailers, especially independently owned stores are bearing the full brunt of this Pandemic. Last year we established the Stitch Directory! A dedicated online resource for businesses to promote their stores and online shops. The aim of the Stitch Directory is to support independent shops to help promote and support the uptake of crafting and the sale of craft supplies; highlight their existence and ultimately help them to attract new and returning business.⁠
⁠
If you’re a business selling haberdashery supplies, craft suppliers, needles, buttons and machines then you can add your business to the directory. It’s completely FREE! ⁠
⁠
We are doing our best to showcase businesses that join the directory. This includes social media posts to our 15k strong followers and the potential to be featured on our home page and across our site which attracts over 3k unique visits each month.⁠
⁠
Gain extra exposure for you business now by adding your business.⁠
⁠
