workshops
Why am I offering virtual workshops?
I highly value and recognize the impact of in-person learning, creating, and connection. In fact, my hope is to eventually open my own studio where I can facilitate hands-on workshops and foster community engagement. Until then, I want to meet people where they are by offering this accessible virtual space.
Also, the goal is for you to be able to continue these skills on your own at home and not have to depend on a separate space or person to keep creating!

This class will teach you how to add and alter pockets on your existing garments, turning your wardrobe into something both functional and personal. The Pockets, Pockets, Pockets workshop gives women the perfect excuse to say two of their favorite things:
”Thanks, I made this and it has pockets!”

past workshops
In this 3, 6, or 9-week online workshop you’ll learn practical skills for mending, altering, and upcycling your garments — fostering creativity, self-sufficiency, and sustainability in your wardrobe. Remember that stack of clothes in the corner of your bedroom that has been waiting for you to just fix one thing - yeah, that one. Well, now is the time.
This workshop is currently in session but will be offered again soon by popular demand!
