✨ Come join the very first gathering of the Storytime Stitching Book Club! ✨

Each month, we’ll dive into a new book together and then meet at our cosy Hobsonville venue to share our thoughts, laughs, and favourite moments. Alongside the discussion, we’ll spend time stitching a custom embroidery patch onto our dedicated Storytime Stitching hoodie — a creative keepsake that grows with every book we read.

Whether you’re brand new to embroidery or already love crafting, you’ll have the freedom to choose your own design — with inspiration, guidance, and tools provided to bring your ideas to life. This is less about being “experts” and more about enjoying time together as cosy crafters and page-turning pals.

💌 Before your first session, you’ll receive an email with:

Video guides and embroidery tips
Recommendations to get you started
