    SIGN UP TO A SOOTHING EMBROIDERY WORKSHOP: If you’ve already binged on the full series of Bridgerton then you might just be inspired to try out a 2021 version of that popular 18th century pursuit – embroidery. Dubai-based DIY Workshop experts Turquoise Boutique are offering an Online Modern Embroidery Workshop, so you don’t even need to venture out of the house to get involved, which will talk you through techniques and stitches of this very accessible DIY project (your kids could get involved too). You’ll be able to create your own modern quote with floral motif, for a fabulous mixture of old and new. You can either sign up for the workshop alone (Dh50) or get all the materials (thread, hoop, fabric) included and delivered to your door for Dh195. Workshops on Wed 27 Jan from 7-10pm or Friday 29 Jan from 10am-1pm. http://turquoiseboutiquestudio.com/. Image Credit: Supplied
