My Indigo Kitchen, a slow-stitching workshop


  • north bennington, VT (map)

Celebrate summer and slow-stitching with this virtual workshop!

Join me for this unique slow-stitching workshop where I share my process for dyeing textiles in an indigo bath, hand paint others and then collage and stitch them all together with a kit full of beautiful textiles. Through a set of four exclusive videos, I’ll show you how to set up and use a simple dye pot, how to paint your own fabrics and then collage-stitch-create this charming embellished wall hanging.

You will receive a stitching kit in the mail with vintage and new fabrics to stitch on as well as some fabrics to dye or paint. (Dye kit is sold separately.) I’ll lead you through mixing and matching the textiles, stitching them to a linen base and finishing the edges. Kit includes exclusive fabrics I have designed, collected and curated for this workshop.

* Note- the project can be completed without dyeing or painting if you’d rather do that.

Open to all skill levels, this class is a perfect way to grow your stitch love with fabric, thread and the joy of handmade!

Kit includes:

Linen and muslin foundation fabrics

Printed fabric panel of my painted dishes and icons

Indigo dyed textiles from my stash

Vintage fabrics

Optional- 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 design for extra bonus projects to make the best use of your materials and creativity.
