ICYMI: There are a few spots left for the Introduction to Japanese Stitiched Shibori Dyeing Workshop!

NO SEWING MACHINES ARE INVOLVED IN THIS COURSE, so it's truly baby beginner friendly. Grab a friend and register now before space runs out! [Reg. link: bit.ly/CenterSewing]

❇️ THE DETAILS ❇️
🗓️ Sunday, Aug. 23 & 30, 2026
⏰ 11am - 2pm
📍 JCCCNC - 1840 Sutter St. San Francisco
🎟️ $90 Members / $120 General Public

Shibori is a Japanese resist-dyeing technique that creates stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns through folding, binding, and stitching fabric before dyeing. In this two-part workshop, your instructor Katie Furukawa Bonifacio of Old River Design Co. will guide you through the fundamentals of stitched shibori – one of the most meditative and rewarding textile arts you can learn. No sewing machine required!

In Session 1, you’ll learn 3 types of stitched shibori binding techniques and begin preparing your scarves for dyeing. You’ll take your project home to finish your stitching at your own pace, then bring it back ready for dye day.

In Session 2 (held one week later), it’s dye day! You’ll submerge your bound scarves in a fiber-reactive dye bath and experience the magic of the reveal as you unbind your finished pieces.

P.S. - If you're like "damn, I wish I had heard about this earlier"...you need to become an Insider so you get info like this FIRST!!!

It pains me to have to do this, but I won’t be able to have a booth at NorCal Cherry Blossom Festival today. I’ve been battling a cold, and although I survived yesterday’s rain storm, it came at a cost.

The decision has been made to not set up today, and preparare to have a really great day next week, Saturday, 4/18.

I’m not gonna lie - this was a HARD decision, not because I don’t know how to prioritize my health, but because this weekend usually represents a huge chunk of my income for the first half of the year.

With that in mind, there’s a couple of ways you can still get your hands on my cherry blossom festival items:
🌸 place an online order at oldriverdesign.co today and choose “buy online, pick up in store” as your shipping option to avoid shipping fees! Orders placed today will be dropped off at 3 Pillars Gift Shop gift shop this Tuesday!
🌸go by 3 Pillars today!! I’m stocking them with extra key fobs and dish towels right now. You can shop from a variety of local independent artists and makers there today, and every day.
🌸 ALL ONLINE ORDERS PLACED TODAY WILL RECEIVE A 10% DISCOUNT TO SAY “THANK YOU” FOR YOUR SUPPORT. Use code “sickday10” at checkout!

I’d been in a mad rush to get things made for this weekend, so I don’t even have photos of a lot of stuff. I’ll work on trying to get that updated asap!!

Thank you for all of your support and love. This business literally can’t survive without it, and it’s an honor to be a part of such a wonderful community.

🌸🌸🌸 IS UPON US!! 🌸🌸🌸

Find me on Post Street between Buchanan and Webster at the 59th Annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival! This festival is my FAVORITE event of the year - it feels like a big reunion and usually my only regret is that it only last a few days!

I'm stocking up big on all things sakura and spring for this event - key fobs, dish towels, shopper bags, and more!

📅 April 11, 12, and 18
⏰ 11am - 6pm

While you're here, enjoy a Sapporo b**r (all proceeds go to supporting NCCBF), get yourself a .inc teriburger, and enjoy all of the cultural performances!

pro tip: take transit to Japantown (38/38L from BART, 22 Fillmore, 24 Divis, or whatever goes down Van Ness) - I've had friends spend over an HOUR looking for parking, so it's worth the relative inconvenience to take the bus in from elsewhere!

Catch me this weekend at the quilt show! I’m honored to be included in the vendor lineup, which also includes:
