Get the VIP PassMy Peekaboo Pouch is the perfect project for those precious pieces of damaged fabric you just canāt bear to part with. Inspired by Japanese boro and visible mending traditions, youāll transform worn and well-loved textiles into a beautiful, useful pouch whilst turning the repairs themselves into part of the design. Itās a wonderful way to celebrate the stories, imperfections and character of fabrics that might otherwise be forgotten.

Kate Ward has been a textile artist her whole life. Growing up in a creative family led her to study textiles at Art School twice, achieving both a Bachelor and Master in Fine Arts. Kate has had some wonderful opportunities to combine her love of art with my love of travel, studying and creating all over the world.
As well as her passion for textiles, it's also important to Kate to live meaningfully and sustainably. She's rolled all these passions together with Zen Stitching, and by embracing the beautiful and practical designs of sashiko stitching, she'll help you not only mend your clothes, but also reduce textile waste and practice mindfulness.
