Wave of Change Jacket Rhinebeck Meetup 2020

Saturday, Oct 17th at 10AM Pacific / 1PM Eastern

This joyous photo depicts our last Meetup at Rhinebeck. Can we do it again, only this time virtually? Please join us!

When: Saturday, Oct 17th, 2020 at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST for one hour.

Where: Zoom! You will receive a Zoom link and passcode after registration.

How: This event is now complete and tickets can no longer be purchased.

Why: The Wave of Change Jacket gets its name from the purl ridges that create concentric rings around the body. The name also references the last year of change in the fiber community. We collectively became more aware, more woke. I believe every human feels the need to be included and valued. As we transition into a new decade, my hope is that we can become a more compassionate community where we focus on our common humanity, rather than our differences. Then we can create a space where kindness is the norm and everyone is welcome.

In that spirit, this pattern was designed to be gender-neutral and size-inclusive. No single garment can fit every body, but I have included tips to help you customize the pattern to fit your body. I hope that you feel pride when making and wearing it. In my dreams, this jacket will become an emblem of our collective wish to create a lasting wave of change in the maker community, the fashion industry, and in the world. ⁣

Thank you for allowing me to share my vision and my hopes and dreams through design.
