Tip TuesdayStitching with purpose 

Students joined Trudy Cowan for a day of Sashiko & Boro stitching, focusing on technique, texture, and the foundations of these traditional hand-stitching methods.

While the class is centered around learning and exploring stitches, a small offhand discussion sparked inspiration on how to give practice pieces a second life — from cushions and pouches to mug rugs and placemats.

Trudy will be back this winter with her Intro to Sashiko class — keep an eye out for dates closer to when our winter schedule is released!

Maker Spotlight

 

Maker Spotlight - Tuesday, October 28, 2025 - Ron Collins' Quilted Sneakers made by students from the October 2025 session

 

We’re stepping into the week with a little extra flair — take a look at some of the incredible sneakers made during Ron’s two classes this past week!

From Liberty florals to bold, artsy prints, every pair is a total showstopper and a perfect reflection of its maker’s style. We’re so inspired by the creativity, skill, and attention to detail that came out of these sessions.

Huge thanks to Ron for another fun and skill-packed workshop — and to everyone who joined in for bringing your A-game (and your fancy footwork).

Missed out? Ron will be back on January 26th to teach another Sneakers Class — so get ready to lace up and make your own custom kicks!
