This session will introduce you to the mental health benefits of sewing and help you switch off to the demands of everyday life.
By focusing on the meditative action of sewing and immersing yourself in the task, you can step away from the world for a while and it will leave you with a feeling of calm.
During the session you will enjoy relaxing hand sewing using natural resources, whilst also learning about the wellbeing benefits of essential oils and garden herbs which we will also incorporate into our project.
