A Stitch in Time

Thread a needle and learn how to make your own little sampler to take home.

Did you know a mushroom could be used for darning? Had you ever heard of a running stitch? Visit the museum and look at some of the collection of sewing tools and learn how each was used. Some children’s samplers or better known as embroidery work will also be on display.

You will be able to draw or trace your own design onto a piece of hessian, thread a needle, and shown how to do the dolphin stitch around your design. All samplers can be taken home.

This could be the start of a new hobby for you.
