The amazing health benefits of practicing embroidery

  • Lowers blood pressure

    Embroidery calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to lower blood pressure, reducing stress for improved well-being.

  • Regulates breath

    Engaging in embroidery encourages mindful, rhythmic stitching, promoting focused breathing patterns that can induce a sense of calm and relaxation.

  • Calms nervous system

Sorry I do not know what you mean.

Usual excellent kit with great clear instructions.
I am a very regular customer of the Crewel Work and I have been lucky enough to have done a few workshops with Phillipa.

Many thanks

After delivery being delayed by the post office, my package arrived yesterday and I'm anxious to get started, which I will do as soon as I finish a smocked baby dress for a friend. Phillipa and Frankie have been just wonderful trying to track down issues while the PO went on strike, then apparently was hacked and international deliveries were delayed. I just need to decide what I will do with this project once I have it finished.

The kit was wonderful and easy to understand. I loved it so much I bought one the seconds in the recent sale.
