If you’ve been looking for a way to reconnect with your creative side or with your faith, you’re warmly invited to our free embroidery class with Clarastitching, happening live via Zoom on Saturday, June 21st, from 7 pm to 9 pm BST (UK time) 

In collaboration with Clara from @clarastitching, this special online workshop will teach you how to embroider the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a meaningful goldwork project designed to mark Sacred Heart Month.

Whether you’re just beginning or have years of stitching experience, this class offers more than technique. It offers stillness. Purpose. A place to create with care.

What You’ll Receive (for Free)

This class isn’t just free, it’s full of love and intention.

Here’s what we’ve prepared for you:

• Live class with Clara — You’ll learn how to stitch the Immaculate Heart from start to finish, guided by Clara’s gentle, clear teaching style.

• Free Bible marker pattern — A printable pattern from us to create something beautiful and personal for your Bible or prayer journal.

• Step-by-step video tutorial — Watch our YouTube tutorial to learn how to sew a Bible cover.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been stitching for years, this class is meant to nourish both your creativity and your faith.

Optional: Clara’s Goldwork Kit – Now Back in Stock

We know how frustrating it can be to get excited about a project, only to realize you don’t have the right materials. That’s why Clara is offering her Immaculate Heart of Mary Goldwork Kit, the same one she’ll be using in class.

Clara curated each kit with care, so you can focus on stitching instead of shopping.

The first 50 kits sold out quickly, and she’s restocked another 50—but they won’t last long.

Having the kit isn’t required, but it helps you follow along with confidence, especially if you’re new to goldwork embroidery.
