Embark on a journey where fashion meets inclusivity and sustainability, delving into the social dimensions of style and design. Be a part of engaging discussions on inclusive design practices and how different identities influence fashion choices. They will also learn embroidery techniques that prioritize the wellbeing and comfort of the customer.


Through insightful discussions, hands-on activities, and expert instruction, students will work towards a final project: creating their own recycled, embroidered piece. The learning goals and objectives include understanding examples of inclusive design and appreciating how diverse identities shape fashion preferences. This course not only enhances technical skills but also fosters an understanding of fashion's role in promoting sustainability and inclusivity.


Megan Burke explains the "why" behind specific stitches you will learn as you create the perfect texture for self-soothing tactile input. Students learn about proprioception, pairing physical movement & tactile input with grounding breaths to practice self-regulation and ground in support of mental health. While learning how to create a self-soothing texture, students find comfort and peace in the workshop themselves. The action of embroidery requires both hands and eyes of each participant which simultaneously soothes the mind through repetitive tractile action and prompts open conversation by taking away the pressure of eye contact. This creates a low-stakes environment for open conversation and connection while teaching students a skill that will serve them in their careers in design.
