Stitching History

Service Description

Explore history through fabric, materials, and traditional techniques, creating themed textile pieces inspired by different cultures and time periods each week with plenty of time to continue, refine, or personalise work at a comfortable pace. Each week, children are introduced to a different culture, time period, or theme, using textiles as a way to connect with stories from the past. From simple stitching and pattern work to more detailed decorative pieces, the focus is on creating at a comfortable pace, with space to explore and build confidence over time. There’s no rush to finish—children can continue, refine, and personalise their work across sessions, developing both skill and pride in what they create.
