Patchwork Woad Pillow Workshop

Our Woad Workshop was another beautiful day of outdoor dyeing and camaraderie - it's always a good mix of the two and I think it's why students return over and over again. This year, Jody, Dawn and I dyed up all sorts of scraps of linen, lace and ribbon to fill a basket of workshop materials for Jody's upcoming class at French General.
 On Saturday, July 28th, Jody will be teaching how to create this Patchwork Woad Pillow - a bit of hand stitching and some machine sewing too. As always, all materials are supplied in French General workshops - but you are free to bring your own machine if you like. Sign up here if you would like to spend a Saturday afternoon with a handful of stitching and woad enthusiasts! See you soon!

    Hey Kaari, you did an excellent job here for your fans and home decor fanatics. Definitely Jody was lucky to get the opportunity to learn to make Patchwork Woad Pillow and I think Jody excitement was overwhelmed. I also like to make my pillows and cotton body pillow cases with numerous color variation. Anyway, I enjoyed your great stuff.
