If you’re looking for an amazing, creative reboot, then I can heartily recommend a workshop sewing with Jessie Chorley. Her work is stunning. Handmade and hand stitched. Jessie brought along some goodies from her London shop.

I had a brilliant day. The class was held at my local Embroiderers’ Guild and was designed around making a Pin & Needle case that could be worn as a brooch.
Buttons and cloth
As usual I took the idea and added my own twist, making a larger piece that could be worn on an apron pocket – starting with a colourful, vintage handkerchief.

Show and Tell
A brilliant day with stitching friends – sewing, chatting and sharing sewing ideas – with a bonus of lots of stitchery homework to keep me happy tomorrow. What a perfect day sewing with Jessie Chorley.
So Happy! My photos of the Game of Thrones piece have been published by Hand & Lock for their newsletter. In March, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see The Hardhome Embroidery, and to meet Anthea Godfrey, the Project Manager for the piece.
It’s a joy to be able to share these images with the readers at Hand & Lock.
Look out for this gorgeous embroidery at the Knit and Stitch Shows later this year.
