WORLD EMBROIDERY DAY 2025 — A Celebration of Stitch and Friendship

• 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.
