Creative crafters and savvy stitchers will be in sewing heaven in the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts aisles. Over 100 exhibitors from across the UK will gather at the ExCeL, London to showcase their wares and supplies, share advice and offer inspiration to those looking to embark on their next creative project.
