“I thoroughly enjoyed this course with Allie. There was an interesting sashiko background presentation and enough time to practice, ask questions, make/fix mistakes, and chat. The ambience was friendly, informative and relaxed. Thank you Allie for a great class!” - Participant testimonial, Sashiko workshop with Form Era Studio
