This project has been launched to encourage more stitch in schools and help young people to learn about the fun, creativity and the therapeutic aspects of stitch. It is primarily aimed at Secondary Schools, focusing on Years 7 and 8, but it could be used with older pupils too.
The Royal School of Needlework will provide a kit of threads, needles, fabrics, hoops, scissors, RSN Book of Embroidery and other equipment to enable students to put down their mobile phones and express themselves through stitch instead!
