Sewing - With Knits
Tackle your fear of sewing with knits and complete a pair of leggings that fit like a glove (or like leggings) by the end of the class.
Teacher: Sophie Parslow
Description: Sewing with knits can be a bit scary for the uninitiated. Sophie knows her stuff and will lead you through this project with enthusiasm and knowledge (and that great smile!). By the end of class you will have conquered your fear and have a gorgeous pair of leggings to show for it.
Materials: You will need to provide a sewing machine (if you can't let us know), cotton, scissors, fabric (we will send you more details about what to buy closer to the date) and a sewing kit.
Takeaway: A pair of leggings that you can wear to yoga on Saturday morning ;)!
Level: Beginner
Workshop Length: Half day
So I wrote last week a post asking “Is my making fast fashion?”. And then I did a video on Instagram discussing similar topics in a slightly different way. And as always, you lovely humans have helped me clarify some of my thinking with your thoughtful, clever commentary.
And while I think there is so much more to discuss, here are four key possibly-more-meta ideas that have come up for me out of those conversations.
In using the quote last week that suggested that there was no single answer, and suggesting that this was freeing, I really did mean that we should sit in the grey. Not that the lack of “an” answer to this question should mean we get to ignore the question but rather that the lack of “an” answer means that we need to keep asking bigger more beautiful questions. And keep asking them.
Is my making fast fashion?
Am I living my values or merely thinking them?
And how can I make those two things a little more aligned in this moment?
These are my big beautiful questions.
Yours might be different.
And importantly this leads to point 2.
