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.

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

27 October 2025

I am delighted to announce that we are now able to ship to the US, duty paid and, for the time being, I will absorb the duty.
 

Issue 26 of The Stitcher’s Journal has now been despatched to all overseas subscribers and you should shortly be receiving emails from Royal Mail confirming this, with a tracking number. 

The website has had to be reconfigured so that shipping is no longer included in the prices, but is rather a flat rate, set for whichever country we are sending  to — including the UK — and will be shown at the checkout.  I have of course reduced the kit prices, which used to include shipping, but I have also taken this opportunity to review my prices which have not increased to reflect the considerable increase in costs since February 2022. All in all, I think the results are fair, especially as in carrying out this exercise I realise I have been heavily subsidising the actual postage costs for the past three years.
 
Unfortunately, we are not currently able to take advantage of the Large Letter Rate for shipping to the US, but on a positive note (!)  all orders are now tracked and the flat rate has a greater weight allowance.
 
I will be adding some new kits, bundles and vintage finds and fabrics to the site today, Monday 27th October and through the week, and I really hope things will run smoothly now. 
 
Thank you so much for your support and patience, it means more than I can say.
 
With very best wishes,

Caroline
