Central London based Embroidery School
As we are expecting some disruption to the postal system this year, our date for Christmas postage for all countries including the UK has now past. However we are still working and will continue to dispatch orders up to the 20th Dec, we just cant say that they should get to you before Christmas. Any orders placed after the 20th Dec will be fulfilled after our Christmas break, and will be due to leave us by the 6th Jan 2021.
We hope that fits in with all your plans 🙂

There is no doubt about it, these are uncertain times for all of us.
To protect our staff and customers during Covid 19, we have postponed all classes from this Monday 23rd March until the end of May. We will contact you all individually if you have a booking to find dates that suit you, once it is safe to do so. This may take a little while so please bear with us.
London Embroidery School web shop will remain open.
Here at the London Embroidery School we will continue to innovate and we will hopefully bring you some rays of stitching sunshine over the next few weeks. We appreciate the outpouring of support from our embroidery community, friends, loved ones and newly met neighbours and are looking forward to making a positive contribution back to our local and stitching communities.
We are also excited to see what our amazing crafting team are getting up to during their social distancing and will be sharing it all via our Instagram and Facebook, so follow to stay up to date. We would love to see what you’re up to, tag us with your stitching achievements on instagram, facebook or email us.
A firm favourite with our inhouse embroiderers, this thimble may not look like your standard thimble but it sure does the job. Looking more like a piece of jewellery than a piece of equipment, the open sided thimble has cage back of this thimble allow it to fit snugly over your finger and allow for size adjustments. This leaves the top open making it great for longer nails and allows it to be flatter across the body of the nail so it cant slip around your finger whilst you use it.
The ‘pad’ is dotted to help to catch the needle, with a lip at the top so can add a bit of extra pressure for getting through the toughest bits without the risk of the needle shooting painfully under you nail.
The open sided thimble come in a range of sizes, which are each adjustable as well. Officially they are bronze coloured but get brighter and more goldy with use (gold star to the person with the shiniest therefore most used thimble!)
London Embroidery School is thrilled to announce a brand new class!
