Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to a family of creative makers, it’s no surprise that Céleste Compion loves Three Cats Shweshwe fabric. Besides making quilts and writing patterns to market Three Cats Shweshwe, Céleste presents three different trunk shows and teaches a wide range of classes both in person and online. She has been published in the Canadian Quilter magazine, taught at Quilt Canada in Halifax NS in 2023 and presented online in QUILT2024.
Hand stitching is her passion, whether it be reverse appliqué or quilting, as it allows for time to slow down and relax, and this sewing journey led her to discover Boro Mending, an ancient part of Japanese culture.
My Workshop
Many makers are concerned about the health of our planet and although it may seem overwhelming, there are small steps we can take as individuals to change our attitudes, one stitch at a time. The need for sustainable sewing practices like thrifting, up-cycling and mending are ways in which we can make a difference to counteract a "throwaway society" and global waste. As an added bonus, through hand stitching we create mental health breathing spaces for ourselves through the stillness of slowing down.
In this short workshop you will learn about the ancient Japanese art of Boro stitching and see how easy it is to add beauty and creativity to clothing you have wanted to throw out. Besides patching, you will also learn about making a simple bag from scraps of fabric. You do not have to be an expert to learn these skills.
You are invited to join the slow stitching revolution, and before you know it you will be an influencer to your family and friends to follow your example.
KIT AVAILABLE: If you would like to make the bag in Celeste's workshop instead of mending something (or as well as!) then here is the pattern.
