Maven Session: Tom of Holland

At our last Maven Session we got together to customise Maven tote bags with patchwork, using naturally dyed fabrics and thread. Guided by Tom of Holland, a self-taught textiles maker, we learned basic hand-sewing techniques to individualise our Maven tote bags. Tom dyed the fabric and threads especially for this workshop, using natural materials such as onion skins and avocado pits. 

In addition to learning sewing techniques, Tom explained the dyeing processes he used, and shared hand-sewing tips and tricks.
