Hand Stitching

As a young child I loved playing with the fabrics in our sewing room. I would delight in the colors and textures of these materials while draping them around my mother’s dress form or making clothes for my doll with basic hand stitching. As a young teen I took lessons on my mother’s new Singer sewing machine and began mending and making my own clothes. Now, more than ever, I am enjoying exploring fragments of fabric in a playful way, unhurried piecing together by hand recollections of a full life.

Upcoming Workshop​

Stories and Meanderings: Stitching Our Journeys

Saturday October 28th • Shelburne Craft School, Vermont
​
Lily Hinrichsen and Janet Fredericks bring their gentle style of teaching to this hand stitching workshop. In this gathering, participants will be stitching their own small creations using a variety of fabrics, trimmings, threads, and embroidery floss. Janet and Lily have co-taught many collage workshops in Addison County, and will share their expertise in design, color, specific stitches, and how to break the rules. No sewing or stitching experience is necessary. Just bring your wild curiosity.
