Fun things to do at home

Whether you’ve always wanted to improve your needlework skills, or you’re just looking for fun things to do at home, a virtual class in embroidery or sewing will tick all the boxes. Needlework is also super relaxing, which makes it one of the best lockdown activities around to boost your mindfulness and ease those daily worries. You’ll be able to switch off and immerse yourself completely in your project, learning new embroidery techniques and losing yourself amongst the gently repeating stitches. From the delicate art of needle felting, to online classes in beadwork, embroidery and punch needle kits, you’ll learn all the skills you need to create stunning pieces for your home and wardrobe. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know your French knot from your slip stitch, either, as all of our online classes have been designed with the complete beginner in mind. You’ll be guided through the live streaming class by our talented teachers and local craft experts, who will be on hand to help you with everything from threading the needle from your first sewing kit to hanging your work on the wall at the end of the session. You’ll also be sent a fabulous craft box packed with all the tools and equipment you need to work on your DIY projects, so all you need to do is sign up and wait for your beautiful beads and exquisite embroidery silks to drop onto your doormat!

What to expect from embroidery and sewing kits and online classes

If you’re looking for ways to occupy yourself during lockdown, and you want to find a few productive things to do at home, treating yourself to an online dressmaking course, beginner sewing class or punch needle kit will tick all the boxes. You’ll be able to spend a happy afternoon or evening learning to master delicate beading and sewing techniques, with a cosy cuppa or relaxing glass of wine by your side. At the end of the virtual course, you’ll be able to display your creation with pride, put your feet up and enjoy your handiwork! If you don’t fancy going it alone, why not connect with others via our bookable public online classes? You’ll meet fellow budding beaders and embroidery enthusiasts, and will be able to chat while you stitch up a storm from the comfort of your favourite armchair. 

Had to cancel those birthday celebrations thanks to lockdown? Perhaps you’re trying to find a fun idea for a hen party or festive gathering across the miles, or even fun Zoom date ideas? Whatever the occasion, learning embroidery or needlework via online classes or through DIY kits is a great way to spend some quality time with your loved ones. Simply make a group booking, grab your needles and get stitching! 

Embroidery and sewing at home is great for your wellbeing

It’s tough to find ways to relax at the moment; we get it. But it’s more important than ever to take the time to look after your mental health and wellbeing, which is why it’s the perfect time to indulge in a new hobby or online class, or to get to grips with a fabulous craft kit. The gentle art of stitching is an incredibly mindful activity, as it allows you to focus on the task in hand and switch off from the everyday stresses of life. Becoming absorbed in a repetitive task such as sewing techniques or embroidery stitches helps to calm the mind, reduce stress and improve your attention span - plus, you have a beautiful handmade item to show off at the end of all your hard work!
