Rashida Coleman-Hale, fabric designer and author of Zakka Style and I Love Patchwork, did not, as it happens, start out loving patchwork or sewing of any kind. Only after begrudgingly sewing an outfit she wore once as a child, leaving fashion school, working odd jobs while drawing on the side, and becoming a mother did she become a devoted sewist. On this episode of Stitch Please, Rashida shares stories of unusual jobs she once had, how she set out to make the art she wanted to see in the world, and how she and a group of women designers started Ruby Star Society.
