🌟 Why You’ll Love The Stitch Festival
Having attended The Stitch Festival in 2025, I can honestly say it’s one of those events that makes you feel inspired from the moment you walk in. The festival takes place in the vibrant heart of Islington and brings together makers from all over the UK and beyond. It’s not just about sewing, you’ll find:
✨ A huge variety of creative crafts including dressmaking, crochet, knitting, embroidery, macramé and cross stitch.
✨ Free Stitch Stage demonstrations with experts and industry favourites — last year featured demos from Jen Hogg, Kerry Lord of TOFT, Phoebe Jones (author of Made Weave Love), Paula Clark of Cocoon&Me and more!
✨ Over 230 workshops, ranging from quick tasters to deep-dive classes for beginners and pros alike.
✨ A buzzing show floor where you can browse materials, patterns, tools and goodies from independent makers and big brands alike.
It’s colourful, creative, and so much fun! Lots of people end up staying longer than planned because there’s just so much to see and do.
