I’ve had this bench since I was 16, I think? I started reupholstering it literally 2 days before my due date in February 🤭 my baby arrived a few days later and it sat in my studio for the last couple weeks. Slowly chipping away at it when I had the time. It’s the first personal project that I started and finished with my baby 💕

Material: .chieftradingcompany blanket🪡
Model: my first baby, Kodak 🐶🐾

Completed my last workshop last night 🫣💕 Everyone did so amazing!!! Feeling really grateful right now for the constant support from Kahnawake 🤧❤️ to everyone who’s been reaching out… I will be back 🤭 keep your bananas peeled, I’m only taking 8 months off 👩🏽‍🍼

I wanna give a shout out to for backing these workshops over the last few years ✨I’ve grown so much being able to teach others to sew, and made so many amazing connections with people in the community. Kahnawake is really blessed to have community initiatives like the ones provided by KSCS 💕

I also want to shoutout .chieftradingcompany on creating an avenue for indigenous artists and businesses to collaborate. It’s been so amazing to use their beautiful blankets to teach jacket making, and now bucket hats too!!! It gives an added touch of community building whenever I get to use their product in my workshops 💕

‼️UPDATE: SPOT FILLED

I have one spot that has opened up for this class. We start at 4pm tonight. DM me if you’d like to join ✨

Join me for my last two workshops before I go on an 8 month hiatus👩🏽‍🍼

👜This month we’ll be making a super cute phone purse big enough for your phone and a tiny wallet. It also features a welt pocket big enough for your cards and a chapstick/lipgloss. You’ll learn to install an adjustable strap to transform your purse from a cross body to an over the shoulder accessory.

👒We’ll also be making bucket hats! This class is suitable for beginner sewers that are motivated to learn intermediate skills. You’ll have the chance to create a single bucket hat, and leave with a range of pattern sizes to make more. This workshop is particularly special because there will be an added option to “winterize” your hat using salvage boychief blanket pieces from my previous projects.

Register at this link https://forms.gle/y1yBrEXwKT6F9miz7 and indicate which workshop you’ll be registering for ✨ Excited to see you there 🤗

What a time to be alive, thank you 2025🫡💕

So much gratitude reflecting on this last jacket making workshop I did 🧥💕 I was able to teach two groups in early December and I learned so much with them (it was my first time teaching this type of jacket making workshop). Each group adjusted my existing short jacket pattern into a long jacket with a full liner and zipper🪡 It was a hefty five evenings of navigating time management and tweaking things so it could run more smoothly for future groups 😌 I’m always grateful for everyone’s patience and willingness to learn and persevere 💪🏽 and I’m most grateful for , she’s helped me through some of my previous workshops and is insanely good at learning on the fly and keeping the group on track 🫡💕 Nia:wen to for funding this project 💕

Found a few strawberry and icecream sew on patches in my things 🍓🍦would make great stocking stuffers ✨ $5 each, pick up at my studio in Kahnawake.

⭐️ The strawberries are block printed and come with a needle and thread.
⭐️ The ice creams were silk screen printed and come with a needle and thread.

Did my first long jacket workshop🧥
Super proud of the group for powering through each evening 💪🏽 I think the lofi spa music got us all through it 😅 Many nia:wens to for providing the funding for this workshop 💕

If you were on the waitlist for the upcoming jacket making class (Dec 5-9) please check your email 👀 Class begins tomorrow @ 4pm and a spot has opened.
