Needlecrafts: the world of thread arts at the event

Long known as the Aiguille en fête event, the Needlecrafts world is now fully integrated into the Créations & savoir-faire event, a major gathering for Arts and Crafts and hobbies at the Porte de Versailles. Sewing, embroidery, knitting or patchwork: this space celebrates all the facets of the art of thread, from traditional techniques to contemporary practices. Sewing machines, threads, balls of wool and creative workshops came together at the 2025 edition to bring alive the spirit of the salon couture and the salon du tricot Porte de Versailles, in a world dedicated to enthusiasts and the curious alike.
