If you're looking for an easy way to meet like-minded people and make new friends, our Stitching Social events are for you!
Our biggest achievement is the wonderful cross stitch community we have built over the years! These events feel like a celebration of that - the socials are a really positive environment, perfect for those just starting out in their stitching journey and a fantastic way for more advanced stitchers to meet like-minded people and make new friends.
Each event is hosted by a cross stitch expert, online via Zoom. There's a maximum of 12 people in each group and it lasts for a total of 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for everyone to ask their host any burning questions.
This is a lovely way to spend time stitching with others and show off your hard-work to people who understand the time and effort that has been poured into each piece. Your dedicated host will share the basics of cross stitching, offer their top stitchy tips and tricks, host a fun, on-theme quiz and there's a surprise giveaway too!
These socials are fantastic value for money. For just £42.90 you'll receive full access to the 2 hour event, a full beginner-friendly cross stitch kit, a needle minder, a sweet treat and a 20% off discount code that's valid for 24 hours on the day of your event.
We organise 3 Stitching Social events (each event has multiple dates) per year, and a brand new pattern is designed for each. We've hosted so many of these events - we really are experts at it now. The November events always have a Christmas themed kit!
Previous themes include the adorable Piece of Cake bakery, the magical Jingle Bell Toy Emporium, the pretty Mulberry Cottage and the woodland Cedar Lodge!
Our next events will take place throughout November. This time around we're super excited to be hosting Crackling Fireplace, an adorable Christmas design!
Included in the ticket price is a full kit containing everything you need to create a beautiful, cross stitched piece of art - a colour printed pattern, easy to follow instructions, Zweigart fabric, a DMC needle and pre-sorted threads.
You'll also receive a beautiful Stitching Social stork-shaped needle minder. If you have previously attended a social and already have one, we'll happily allow you to choose any other Caterpillar Cross Stitch needle minder instead - simply remember to leave us a cart note letting us know which one you'd like!
You can also expect a delicious sweet treat to enjoy during (or before!) the social, and the surprises don't stop there. As previously mentioned, we'll also send you a unique 20% off discount code to use on the day of your event - the perfect excuse to treat yourself to the kit or needle minder you have been eyeing up for a while! Or how about the Complete Cross Stitch Planner? Please note, your event discount code cannot be used in conjunction with bundle offers, subscription boxes or the Advent calendar.
We ship worldwide, meaning we open these events to everyone and you can join in from anywhere across the globe! To participate you just need a computer/laptop (or borrow one from a friend/family member) and a stable Internet connection.
Remember to check your schedule before booking - due to the limited numbers we're unfortunately unable to change your date once your booking has been confirmed.
You'll receive your Zoom link within 7 working days of purchase. Remember to check the link is working prior to your event date and if you need any assistance, our friendly team are available Monday to Friday 9-4pm (London time).

That time of year is well and truly upon us again, and you’re probably thinking about what Christmas gifts to buy for your loved ones.
If you happen to know someone who’s a craft or cross stitch enthusiast, then we know that finding presents for cross stitchers isn’t always the easiest, so we’ve put together this blog post to help you.
As we start spending more time indoors, there’s no better way to embrace the warmth and charm of the season than with some creative, hands-on crafting. Imagine transforming your space with festive touches, one DIY project at a time!
Crafting isn’t just about making something beautiful (although that certainly is a huge advantage!), it’s also about finding something that makes you happy, calms your mind and brings you a sense of enjoyment and accomplishment.
For neurodiverse people, crafts can offer amazing benefits, from improved focus and confidence to reduced stress and anxiety.
