Spring is on its way! Let’s stitch something lovely to celebrate the season. This self-paced online workshop lets me share my stitching and textile love with you while making a fabric stitchbook that is filled with playfully creative images of spring. It comes with a maker's kit that includes just about everything you need to make the book and a series of fabric collages for pages inside. You can follow the instructions and videos as they are or use them as a jumping off point for your own creative making.
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 over four hours of exclusive instructional videos from my Vermont studio. I'll show you how I applique with wool felt, upcycle textiles, combine materials, transfer and embellish photos to fabric, layer small accents and offer tips for stitching. Learn to embroider new stitches, add your own keepsake bits and build the stitchbook cover to cover.
Zoom Meet-Ups
In April and May, we'll get together in small groups on Zoom (optional) to stitch and talk about your creation. I'll show you how to modify the designs for extra bonus projects to make the best use of your materials and creativity. That little bunny and chick!!
The Facebook Group
You’ll be invited to join a private Facebook Group (optional) 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.

My absolute favorite thing about Charlotte's classes is that I walk away with so much inspiration for other projects. I always learn new skills that give me confidence to just try something and see how it works, and I look at materials a little differently with new ideas on what a piece of fabric, lace or scrap can become! I loved the kit. Charlotte does a great job with providing plenty of unique materials and encouragement to look for things on my own. The videos are wonderful and very well done.
