Not quite sure which section to post this in, as it's multiple fabric crafts really, sewing, knitting, cross stitch, felting...
The V&A are selling some very expensive kits (I haven't checked but I wouldn't be surprised if they were cheaper elsewhere) but if you scroll down on the link, they are also having free drop-in sessions for various crafty themes. Might make a nice C******** gift for someone special (or yourself!)

If you're in London, it might be worth popping in.
