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.
Check out our new series of videos, inspiring students to pick up a needle and thread. The videos demonstrate the basics of needlework as well as how to do key outline and filling stitches. There are four videos available on the RoyalNeedlework YouTube channel and easily accessed online to view in the classroom or at home.
The Royal School of Needlework also has a limited number of kits available, free of charge, for schools. Each kit includes a booklet of ideas, threads, needles, fabrics, hoops and scissors.
