Once Mia Hansson decided to make a life size replica of the Bayeux Tapestry, there was no stopping her. Everything is as historically accurate as possible.

Mia plans on finishing the tapestry in the Autum of 2027, we wish her the best of luck with what is, at the very least, a daunting projects.

Not only does Mia work on the tapestry but she also writes books, including Bayeux Tapestry colouring books and Bayeux fairytales.
