RSN Sip & Stitch is a brand new annual event encouraging stitch lovers around the world to get together with friends to share their passion, have fun with stitch, and raise funds for the RSN. Taking place on World Embroidery Day on Saturday 30th July, RSN Sip & Stitch is a celebration of needlework for everyone around the globe.
Dr Susan Kay-Williams, Chief Executive of the Royal School of Needlework said: "Both needlework and socialising with others have been recognised as effective ways to reduce stress and can help improve wellness, and RSN Sip & Stitch combines both! Whether you host a party at home, in your local hall or online, join us in celebrating World Embroidery Day and help raise funds to support our work."
RSN Stitch Bank was launched in September 2021 with the first 150 stitches to kick off celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Royal School of Needlework. There are now a total of 225 stitches featured on the website, with more coming later in the year. RSN Stitch Bank is free for all to use.
