Transform into a mermaid, caped crusader, hipster, king or mix and match pieces from each era and create your very own unique style. Strike a pose in front of our mirror lit with Hollywood lights, and capture and share your fun style!
Take some time out to slow down and contribute your unique stitching to our continuous fabric roll, inspired by our current exhibition Social Fabric . In the 19th century young women completed stitch samplers to show they were able to do simple embroidery, plain sewing and darning (repairs to holes in clothes). Try contributing your own modern spin on the stitch sampler and stitch a boat, a flower, a pattern, a person, a tree.... anything you like!
