Hey there friends and fellow stitchers in the West.

Following on from assisting people create shrouds here in the Illawarra, my friend and palliative care/social worker, Leith Maddock and I have been planning this one day workshop in WA for some time. Now that travel is possible, we have booked a day at Stackwood in Fremantle in April 2024.

It will be a day of discussion and reflection around end of life, care and 'going away outfits'. We'll guide you through planning and design as well as some hands-on sewing guidance and practical tips for constructing a shroud.

Over the day, we will work through making a simple shroud, and plan ways to tailor it to your own design, incorporate particular fabric and add embellishments and embroidery. Whether you wish to make one for yourself or for someone you care about, the workshop will give you the basics to get started.

Please get in touch if you are interested. I'll be sharing more details before too long.
