We’re thrilled to be hosting a craftivism workshop with artist Rayna Fahey on International Women’s Day (Thursday, 8 March).

Fahey is the author of Really Cross Stitch – a book for when you just want to stab something a lot. During the workshop, she will demonstrate how to create your very own cross-stitch statement to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and long-time crafters alike. All the materials will be provided on the day, along with wine and a copy of Really Cross Stitch. Tickets are $30 per person, and you can book here.

In anticipation of the event, Fahey has shared one of the patterns from Really Cross Stitch. The design proclaims: ‘Just ugh.’ It’s perfect for those who want to get some practice in before the workshop, or those who would love to attend but can’t.

You can download a PDF of the pattern here.

You can buy a copy of Really Cross Stitch, in-store and online.
