From dressmaking to quilting, macramé, embroidery and needle felting, visitors can get involved with demonstrations and bookable in-advance workshops offering the chance to try something completely different or extend their skills with specialist artists and crafters.
Filled with all the latest stitching supplies, fabrics, yarns, patterns and threads, Sewing for Pleasure and sister show Fashion & Embroidery, is the destination for needlework beginners and experts alike.
