Sewing Class Support

New year, new sewing classes!

As some of you may know, last year I started teaching a sewing class at a local community centre. It has been an amazing experience for me. And it's been a great way for people in the community with low- or no-income to learn.

However, over the past year, our stash of donated fabric has started to dwindle, and our thread is down to like one spool of mustard yellow basting thread from the 80s. Which is why I do this little outreach every new term.

With the support of viewers like you*, I've been able to purchase fabrics for my students who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it. And because of that, they were able to make garments that they would be proud to show off.

I'm hoping to collect at least $100, to have 10 for each student. If I reach that goal, I'll post one of the detailed tutorials for one of the group projects we work on!

You can support the class through my ko-fi

and I also have a wishlist of general supplies(Thread. Thread.) that you can check out as well.

As always, if you aren't able to contribute, reblogging so this gets a wider reach is a huge help.

I'm looking forward to sharing their projects with you!

Sho Textile Factory (翔工房)

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Sho Textile Factory, a workshop renowned for its beautifully crafted textiles. But it’s more than just a place to admire fabric—it’s a hub of creativity where tradition and craftsmanship come together in the most mesmerising way. The factory also serves as a school, offering a range of courses from one-day experiences to more in-depth basic and advanced classes, all tailored to the student’s skill level. Visitors can witness the entire process of fabric-making, from spinning thread to dyeing and weaving, gaining a deep appreciation for the artistry behind each piece.

I had the privilege of meeting the owner, Mitsue-san, a true master of her craft with years of experience. Her dedication to preserving the art of textile making is nothing short of inspiring. She’s also an absolute character—warm, funny, and brimming with knowledge. With a mischievous smile, she told me she’s lovely when she’s not teaching but strict when she is. And honestly? I believe her. You don’t create textiles this exquisite without a sharp eye for detail and the discipline to match!

The factory features a display area showcasing Mitsue-san’s stunning creations, from delicate shawls to cosy seat warmers, each piece meticulously handmade with incredible precision. Fortunately for visitors, she also has a shop where you can purchase her works—perfect for those who appreciate fine textiles and are looking for something truly unique to add to their wardrobe.

Set in a peaceful countryside location next to Imaguma Station, the workshop offers the perfect environment to immerse yourself in the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. The tranquil surroundings make it easy to lose track of time while admiring the artistry on display.

In short, Sho Textile Factory is a must-visit for anyone interested in textiles, craftsmanship, or simply discovering something new. Whether you’re there to learn or just to admire, you’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for this incredible art form—and, if you’re lucky, a beautiful handmade piece to take home. Just remember, if you do sign up for a class, be prepared—Mitsue-san may be lovely, but when it comes to weaving, she means business!

Do you have a bit of change to spare?

Three of my students need help purchasing fabric for their projects for our community sewing program. The place I usually get my material has t-shirt fabric for $4/meter. Two meters can make a long sleeved shirt, or a camisole and short set, or a dress.

Any little bit helps, and so does reblogging this to share around.

Created as part of a French course, this book revisits three poems by Arthur Rimbaud:

Vénus Anadyomène

Le Mal (𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑙)

Ma Bohème (𝑚𝑦 𝑏𝑜ℎ𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑛)

The intention was to visually capture the essence of these verses, word by word, by interpreting the poem as an illustration.

I voluntarily chose to start my portfolio in June, just before the French bac exams, as I wanted to dedicate myself to this task first and foremost.
