Michele Cheong learned the techniques of garment construction in Hong Kong and is a long time sewer. Her creations are known for their artful simplicity as seen in her regular contributions to A Needle Pulling Thread magazine.
More recently, 7 years ago she learned to knit and from her first knit stitch she began tackling patterns and techniques only experienced knitters were attempting. She has since become a master of yarn manipulation and excels at techniques like entrelac and twined knitting.
Matryoshka Keepsake Case – All Levels
When Michelle received a Russian Matryoshka as a birthday gift, she fell in love with this Eastern European folk art doll. This doll is the inspiration for this keepsake case designed for your zakka sewing journey. Perfect for holding sewing needles, a ring or other small jewellery items, a lock of hair or baby’s first tooth. Or simply hang it as an ornament or dangle. The useful and embellishment possibilities are endless. Join Michele to learn simple hand sewing tips, basic stitching, trim application and bead/button embellishment techniques. Bring: Small sharp scissors and water soluble pen. Kit $15
3 Hour Workshop
Twined Knitting – All Levels
This traditional Scandinavian knitting technique dates back at least to 17th century Sweden. Two strands of yarn are used, knitting each strand alternately. Twined knitting can be knitted with one or two colours, both giving fabulous results. Learn this technique with Michele and see how she uses it for tea cozies, wraps, mittens, hats and more. It’s guaranteed to keep you warm! Bring: 4mm, 80cm long circular needles.
