About Paloma Stitch

Paloma Stitch runs beginner to experienced-level handstitch embroidery, cross stitch & tapestry workshops for groups and individuals. Based in West London but workshops can take place anywhere in the world with comfortable seating and natural light.

Amelia, founder of Paloma Stitch is a Londoner by birth although her Mexican mother and many years living in South African have given her a keen joy for travel, adventure, culture, nature and colour!

Amelia first started needlework 23 years ago following the birth of the first of her three daughters. She started off stitching cosy tapestry Christmas stockings and cushion covers before moving on to years of cross-stitch designs for newlyweds, birthday gifts, new babies and graduations before finally hitting free hand embroidery, her ultimate love! Amelia’s works have been hung on walls, sit on mantlepieces, are used as beautiful napkins and even pillow cases and she is now delighted to share the joy of stitching itself and her love of these beautiful often-neglected crafts with new learners.

You can check the schedule of upcoming workshops using the ‘Book a Workshop’ button or get in touch directly if you’d like Amelia to come to you! Amelia can teach one-on-one or groups of up to 12 people at a time.

2025 Customer Workshop Reviews

Many thanks for a most enjoyable, fun and well organised embroidery workshop. It was my first time embroidering and after just a couple of hours I feel like I can start to do it! Your designs are exquisite and I can’t wait to do more workshops with you!

We had such a beautiful time yesterday at @paloma_stitch's beginner's embroidery workshop. Amelia is the most fun, patient, gentle and overall amazing teacher and I can't wait to do more fun workshops with her! I'm in love!

Side note, I was so obsessed after the workshop, I attempted to finish my chain stitch apple that very evening!
Rachel C
The paloma stitch workshop was the most incredible tonic for busy London life. Amelia created such a warm and welcoming space where I felt completely comfortable to learn, ask questions, and explore embroidery. I came away not only with new skills but also with so much inspiration from her passion and encouragement. I left feeling empowered and ready to keep stitching at home, thank you for such a lovely experience!
Zoë J
Thank you so much for an amazing embroidery workshop. I loved it! Everything was so beautifully presented from the table setting, the plants, music and gorgeous sewing kits. You put so much thought and time into everything and it felt like such a treat to sit and sew amongst lovely people, in such a beautiful and calm atmosphere. I really didn't want to leave!

Have just spent a wonderful 1/2 day at a Paloma Stitch workshop. I had some stitch knowledge beforehand but only through doing kits at home but spending time with Amelia learning the stitches properly has transformed my confidence. Amelia is a warm and intuitive teacher and the women gathered around the table were diverse and really delightful to meet. If your thinking of learning this craft (perfect for doing while watching tv of an evening) then look no further!

Thank you for teaching the mini-repertoire of stitches and now I’ve got a takeaway embroidery project (really appreciate the beautiful design & all the kit) to work on - love it! Inspo to learn with you… enjoyed hearing your ‘stitch story’.
