Stitch-School

Help us co-create a set of community-stitched Mary Quant dresses

Whether you are an experienced needle-worker or have never tried it before, take a seat and have a go at following the pattern using the stitch instructions.

Stitch-School was co-founded in 2017 by Melanie Bowles and Aimee Betts. Through embroidery kits, workshops and community events, they provide professional and inspirational guidance that helps people reconnect with the benefits of embroidery.

The dresses have been made from an open-source pattern that you can download from our website along with the rest of [our sewing resources] (https://www.vam.ac.uk/dundee/info/sewing-box-for-the-future-resources "See all of our sewing resources").
