Forget screens… embroidery keeps children on their toesat Sharjah International Book Fair 2024

A popular children’s workshop at SIBF 2024 is using a tufting gun and yarn to weave cartoon characters on keychains


Sharjah, November 10, 2024

What is more fun than using a tufting gun to embroider your favourite cartoon characters? Getting the fruits of your labour in keychain format at the end of the day! Children aged 12 and above had the thrill of using a tufting gun to create a Mickey Mouse or a duck or a mushroom at the “Embroidery” workshop happening at the 43rd Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) in Expo Centre Sharjah.

 “This is rug tufting, and we use yarn to make the pattern. The yarn is threaded on the gun first using a threader or a bent wire and then in a shooting action it weaves the design you want. We will then cut the patterns, make a keychain with it and present it to the kids to take home,” explained Ann, who along with her colleague Cherry from Mofun Studio in Umm Suqueim, Dubai has been training children at the workshop.
