Published on 23/01/2013 15:00

OVER half of Britain’s females enjoy the delights of creating their own wares, so why not join the nation and embrace the handmade trend?

Creative Stitches and Hobbycrafts will be returning to the SECC, Glasgow from March 7 to 10 with everything from knitting, jewellery making and papercraft to cardmaking, sewing and quilting, this is the perfect place to find the very latest products, ideas and innovations from hundreds of exhibitors.

The News and Chronicle has teamed up with the organisers of the event to offer our readers the chance to win one of 20 pairs of tickets.

All visitors will be able to enjoy a free programme of quick and easy workshops and talks each day of the show to offer them inspiration and new ideas.

Be transported to a bygone era with a selection of stunning costumes from some of the most famous television and film adaptations of Jane Austen’s beloved novels.

If you’ve got excited by the ‘Make do and Mend’ and customisation trend but don’t know where to start or you just need a confidence boost with sewing, then make sure you visit the fantastic sewing hub.

Dressmaking experts will be on hand in the sewing machine clinic offering top tips and practical hands-on workshops focusing on basic sewing techniques.

With this new found confidence make sure you go to the dressmakers’ pattern bar where you will find all the latest patterns from some of the most well known brands including Butterick, McCalls, Simplicity, Style and Vogue.

There is also lots of other attractions at the event and for your chance to win a pair of ticket, see this week’s Cumbernauld News or Kilsyth Chronicle dated Wednesday, January 23.

You can also win a fantastic meal for two worth £20 at Puccini’s in Cumbernauld Village, in our great weekly competition, prize valid Mondays to Thursdays.
