A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Fall Color Story

August 14, 2012

Despite the fact that summer is winding down, our evenings are full of impromptu al fresco dinners and picnics at the park lately.

I’ve been planning K’s fall wardrobe and noticed that the fabric I’ve started to assemble for the massive sewing project seem to match the colors from one of our outdoor dinners. Those figs in particular have lovely autumnal shades.

More progress to come!

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! 💙💙💙💙💙
