Tapestry showing the three Forth bridges

Craft Sunday: Landscape Tapestry with Freya Mabel Makes

Duration: 5h
Dates: Sun 27 Jul 2025 12:00 - 17:00
Location: Meeting Room

Join Freya of Freya Mabel Makes and learn how to make a mini tapestry of your favourite view. 

You’ll use appliquéd felt and simple hand sewing techniques to create a piece with a striking, minimalistic style. Freya will be on hand throughout the day to pass on hints, tips and share her sewing skills. 

Bring along an image of your favourite view/landscape and turn it into a piece of textile art to take home and hang on your wall. 

We’ll provide tea, coffee and sweet treats to help fuel your making throughout the afternoon.
