This is a slow sewing session designed for rest, creativity, and gentle companionship. No sewing experience is needed at all — I’ll provide plenty of templates, guidance, and clear instructions. We start the session with a grounding exercise and end with a gentle meditation. The session is designed so that you can make the wall hanging at an easy pace, and take time for yourself. If the weather is warm and kind, there are plenty of quiet corners in our green garden where you can sit, stitch, and enjoy the sunshine, and birds, in peace.

As the days begin to lengthen—before the summer stretches the light late into the evening—join us for a 3-hour slow stitching workshop inspired by the quiet magic of a big starry night. You’ll create a hand-stitched night-sky wall hanging in a session that encourages unhurried making, gentle focus, and the quiet pleasure of hand sewing. We begin with a gentle grounding practice to help you feel connected to what you’re creating, and end with a guided meditation so you leave for home chilled and relaxed!
