✨ WOW! Only a few spaces left! ✨

If you’ve been thinking about joining us for the Made in Hitchin Creative Day Retreat, this is your sign to book your place! 💕

Imagine spending a whole day surrounded by other creative people, learning new skills, trying different crafts, and having absolutely no pressure to be “good” at any of them. Just a day to make, experiment, chat, and enjoy being creative. 🧵🧶✂️

Our retreat brings together three talented tutors and three different creative specialisms, Garment Making, Embroidery & Crochet, with a whole selection of workshops for you to choose from throughout the day.

🪡 EMBROIDERY
Try your hand at Sashiko and learn how to use Stick & Stitch to easily add beautiful embroidered details to your own projects with Donna

✂️ GARMENT MAKING
Learn Kaye’s tips & tricks for working with zips and discover how to draft your own A-line skirt pattern.

🧶 CROCHET
Helen has 2 great crochet workshops planned - Introduction to Amigurumi and Crochet with Beads.

And the best bit? You don't need to be an expert! Whether you’re a seasoned maker, an enthusiastic beginner, or someone who simply fancies spending a day doing something creative, there’s something for you.

You can come along to learn a new craft, pick up techniques to use in your existing projects, or simply have a go at something you’ve always wanted to try.

🌿 One day. Three crafts. Lots of workshops. Plenty of creativity.

Such a lovely morning stitching spring birds this morning!

It always amazes me how everyone's birds look so different despite access to the same materials and instruction. It brings me so much joy to see how simply playing with fabric scraps and threads can produce such beautiful work 😍

If you want to stitch your own spring birds I am teaching this workshop again in Hitchin on Sunday! Check out my stories/highlights for more info x
