“Anything which is worth the effort to portray, is worth every effort to improve upon.” – Eugene Von Bruenchenhein
In case you missed it, read Natalie’s personal essay about the inspiration for our Marie Stencil from the work of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein. The Marie Stencil is featured as this month’s Swatch of the Month, and we’re showing more love for Marie with our latest DIY Kits—a cropped car jacket, pencil skirt, top, and swing skirt.

Join our Swatch of the Month program at any time for inspiration and explorations in embroidery along with exclusive offerings like our monthly newsletter which includes instructions, behind-the-scenes stories, a list of design choices, first access to promotions and offers, and special collaborations.
For March, subscribers will have access to an exclusive Q+A with Natalie in two virtual sessions on March 19th from 11:00am – 1:00pmCST. Subscribers will be able to send in questions for Natalie ahead of time, and she will answer as many as she can in each one-hour session. She’ll also share more about The School of Making and its mission during the Q+A. Participants must sign up for the Swatch of the Month program by March 18th to be a part of this event.
