CreativeBug "Hair Accessory Trio" Video Launch

I'm so excited to announce the first of my DIY videos with CreativeBug has just launched! During this video you'll learn how to make three essential hair accessories - a bow, a headband and a scrunchie. These projects can easily be customized to your style by choosing a fabric that feels like you. Click here to watch and learn!

A little behind the scenes detail, we taped the classes in my home this past October. I felt it was unsafe to travel to San Francisco where CreativeBug's studio is located so they agreed to partner with us remotely. It was cool to set everything up and make it work. Shoutout to the tiny team who masked up and joined me for the three-days of filming! 
 
Enjoy and please send us photos or tag us with what you make! 
 
** Insert Confetti!**

DIY Face Mask Making (4/28 + 5/5) 4P

 

I'm hosting a series of Make A Mask workshops. The next classes are on Tuesday the 28th at 4p EST (and again on Tuesday, May 5th, at the same time). I will show you how to hand sew your own face mask. Pay what you can. Suitable for adults and children. You don't need amazing sewing skills - just the running stitch or the back stitch (if you're feeling fancy). If you don't have fabric you could use something cotton that you already own.

Our 1st Virtual Workshop!

Hello Friends, 
 
Long time no see :)
 
I hope you all are safe inside your homes during the sensitive climate of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please wash your hands and participate in the efforts to keep you, your family, friends, and pets healthy. I am optimistic that we will be able to get through this together!
 
We (yes, we, I have a small team that I’ll introduce in an upcoming message) would like to offer an experimental virtual fashion workshop, for ages 10+, that will help young people to be creative at home. In the workshop students will learn basic hand sewing skills that they can use to create a garment or accessory!
 
Our 1st workshop block will be held on Thursday, March 26th and Monday March, 30th. In the 1st class students will get a introduction + a demo while the 2nd class will be focused on sharing projects + a celebration!

We are planning to expand our virtual offerings, via Zoom, in the days to come so stay tuned  for a full schedule of classes, including one-on-one sessions!

As always, thank you for being a loyal supporter!
 
Hugs + stars,
 
Lesley
