About this Retreat
DESIGNER, PATTERNMAKER & INSTRUCTOR
I'm Jo - the founder of Cedar and Vine. Where to start...this brand has taken me on such a crazy, wonderful journey - it's ever evolving and hard to summarize it up.
Each day in the studio looks slightly different for me and differs on the time of year. My main tasks include planning upcoming projects, shows, and collections, pattern drafting, grading, customizing made-to-order patterns, and doing all the day-to-day tasks that come with running a business.
I truly feel so blessed to be surrounded by the most lovely team and to have our entire production take place under one roof; where I can ensure that the entire process aligns with my personal values...and connect with likeminded people everyday. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting our brand.
One of my favourite parts of my job is sharing our love of sewing, pattern making, and knowledge from years of production experience by teaching others our craft. It is SO rewarding to watch people make garments from scratch that they will actually wear. As a creator, nothing makes me happier than to share the experience of fulfilment that comes through creating your own garments.
LEAD SEAMSTRESS & INSTRUCTOR
My name is Kristine. Almost ten years ago I crossed the ocean to live here in Canada. Originally I'm from Latvia, where I found the magic of sewing. First inspiration I got was from my grandmother, who sewed clothes for my doll. She transformed fabric into a dress like she knew some magic. Years later I found my mother's sewing machine.. And so it began. Now I am a dressmaker for almost two decades, still enjoying this job and my hobby at the same time.
When I'm not sitting at a sewing machine, I like to spend time with my family exploring Canada.
SEAMSTRESS & INSTRUCTOR
Hello, my name is Marnelle. I was raised in the Weyburn area and have raised my three children here as well. After 45 years of working I retired…until I saw that Cedar & Vine was looking for someone to sew clothing.
Working here and using my skills I developed as a hobby is a wonderful experience. I am grateful for everyday that I get to come here and work with this talented group.
