WORLD EMBROIDERY DAY 2025 — A Celebration of Stitch and Friendship

What the ticket includes

  • Attendance at a celebration of World Embroidery Day on 26th July, 2025 at King John Nursery, Etchingham.
  • Exclusive access to The Red Dress with a presentation and stitch workshop, exploring more unusual stitches used on the dress, by founder Kirstie Macleod, author of Conversations with Stitch: The Red Dress Project, published on 29 May 2025.
  • Red Dress Sampler workshop with Caroline Zoob, including her new embroidery kit design celebrating The Red Dress. We will make a start on this with paint and stitch on the day.
  • Morning coffee, a two-course lunch and afternoon tea and cake.
As well as The Red Dress,  which will be on display in our work space, there will be a small gathering of brocante dealers specialising in antique and vintage textiles and haberdashery and World Embroidery Day regulars, Liz Jones and Penny Edwards (@theembroiderybird) will have stands selling their work and new embroidery kits. This is the seventh year we have celebrated World Embroidery Day together and it is always a very special day.

PLEASE NOTE

Update for ALL customers

8 December 2025

Just a little update.
 
We ship to the US, duty paid, by us. The postage has gone up a bit because we have to use a new system. 
 

Issue 27 of The Stitcher’s Journal will be despatched early next week. I am just working on the last tweaks now. 

As soon as it has gone to print I shall be launching a new embroidery kit to enjoy through the twelve days, and my Christmas Inspiration bundles – bundles of linen printed with Christmas foliage and motifs, interleaved with a few surprises. We will be posting these out next week as well.
 
If you are thinking of subscribing to The Stitcher’s Journal and want to try a copy, you can pre-order Issue 27. As with all the Journals, I only print for subscribers plus a few extras.  Issue 27 has two inserts with Christmas embroidery ideas and patterns.

We will be posting by Tracked 24 hour post (UK only) up to 4pm on Friday, 19th December, and we aim to post out on the day of ordering. 
 
Thank you so much as ever for your support. 
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
