Hello, my friends! My brain is extremely full right now, what with K’s prom and graduation and big trips (visiting my parents in Japan! Moving K to Chicago!) and other big life upheavals careening towards me. I’m keeping this month’s update super mini, and just wanted to let you know about an exciting new class I’ll be teaching for the incredible Tatter. The virtual class will be on July 18th and 25th, featuring hand stitched Sashiko slip ons (aka slippers or house shoes). Click here to find out more details and to register. It’s going to be so fun and meditative!!
The stitching on the white pair of slip ons is a little hard to see in the photo, but it’s a more abstract pattern with Sashiko stitching:
Alright! There are graduation events to plan, itineraries to confirm, travel outfits to sew, and overwrought sentimentality (mine) to manage…I hope that May was a good month for you all, and my aim is to be back next month with juicy updates, but with all the craziness going on right now, I may end up skipping a month or two.
P.S. The lovely Annette Leonard interviewed me for her Chronic Wellness show here. I prattle on about my health “journey” as it were and how I’ve been having a déjà vu health crisis reversal experience. As per usual, I never listen back to any of these types of things that I do, and I hope it’s interesting or at least a little helpful for folks.
🙂 thanks for writing
