Candian Fashion Icon…
Linda Lundstrom Teaching
“My greatest gift is in my hands”, explains Linda as she holds her golden-handled scissors to carefully cut between the layers of fabric she has just sewn together. Using the Singer Featherweight sewing machine she learned to sew on at the age of three, Linda now shares her creative ideas with others who love to make their own decorative pillows, scarves, appliqués and fibre art.
“The possibilities that individuals can create these items for themselves, with my advice and suggestions, is exciting for me”, Linda says as she continues to stitch and clip and improvise in her design studio. Surrounded by ribbons and threads, pillow forms and wonderful pieces of fabric, Linda is in her element. “I love helping people learn. Sometimes by encouraging others to step outside their comfort zone, magic can happen. It’s so much fun”.
Who would have guessed that Canadian Fashion Designer Linda Lundstrom would become a leader in the resurgence of do-it-yourself sewing and crafts for all ages? With over three decades of designing and manufacturing fashions sold by hundreds of better boutiques in North America, Linda embraces this chance to return to where it all began… at her little black Singer sewing machine.
