Diana Li Fitzgerald has been sewing for 22+ years starting out by designing and creating purses to sell in her Etsy shop, which opened in 2006. She saw a purse that she liked, but thought could use some design changes. So, she sketched it out, created a pattern, and sat down at a sewing machine for the first time. 16 years later she is taking her designs one step further to focus on the textiles themselves. Her Patchwork Sashiko Method is one that was developed over time through experimentation.
She currently teaches her patterns and methods in-person at guilds and sewing shops as well as online. She continues to write patterns and stay active in the sewing community.
