Join me for a virtual workshop to make this fabric stitchbook about birds.
Autumn was especially beautiful here in Vermont with plenty of days to enjoy the season outside stitching the birds all around me. In flight, at the feeder, on the water and in the garden. For me, birds inspire hope, grace and creativity. This workshop lets me share that with you while making a fabric stitchbook that is filled with the imagery of birds. It includes everything you need to make the book and five fabric collages. You can follow the instructions and videos as they are or use them as a jumping off point for your own creative making. The stitchbook construction allows for expansion to add as many pages as you’d like.
“The kit and class videos taught me so much for this project, but also for future projects. Love all the possibilities this class opened for me.”
The Kit
I'll send you a one-of-a-kind kit, full of vintage and new fabrics I have collected or designed and textiles I've felted by hand here in my Vermont studio. I assemble each kit personally and include everything you need to complete the project. (You will need a few sewing tools like scissors, but no need for a sewing machine.) See below for the full list of materials.
The Instructional Videos
You will receive three exclusive instructional videos from my Vermont studio. I'll show you how I applique with wool felt, upcycle textiles, combine materials, make quirky flowers, layer small accents and offer tips for stitching. Learn to customize pattern shapes, kantha stitch, embroider new stitches, add your own keepsake bits and how to build and finish the stitchbook cover to cover.
Zoom Meet-Ups
Toward the end, we'll get together in small groups on Zoom to talk about your creation and to share it with other members. I'll show you how to modify the designs for extra bonus projects to make the best use of your materials and creativity. Ornaments, sachets, gifts!
The Facebook Group
You’ll be invited to join a private Facebook Group where you can post your work, see what others are doing and generally be inspired by the supportive comments from other makers. It’s a lovely way to share and feel connected to the group. I will be there too.
This is a slow-stitching adventure that can take you through the winter and is the perfect replacement for retreats and stitch gatherings. Take a little time for yourself!
Cost: $250. (domestic only) Sold Out
Spaces are limited.
