For anyone who loves the movies, here are two films on our radar this month – the new Mary Poppins Returns and Mary Queen of Scots. If you are a fan of Mary Poppins and want to make a special treat for someone you know, then book onto RSN Tutor’s Angela Bishop’s Stumpwork class and Mary Poppins flying over the chimneys! There are two classes: 2 February at RSN Midlands and 1 June at Hampton Court Palace.

Alternatively, if you would like to see expert stitch on the big screen, then check out the embroidery on the costumes for the new film Mary Queen of Scots, set for release in the UK on 18 January. Many of the costumes were hand embroidered by two of our Degree Graduates, Laura Baverstock and Hattie McGill, who have also worked for films Dr Strange and Murder on the Orient Express.
