Zoom Simulcast: IB Bayo Trunk SHow
Born in Osogbo, Nigeria, the ninth generation of a traditional weaving family, Bayo [pronounced Bio] learned his trade at an early age from generations of cloth artisans. He learned to weave and dye from his mother, and to sew from his father who made traditional clothing for Nigerian royalty.Bayo began sewing at age five and remembers sitting on his dad’s lap at the sewing machine before his leg could reach the pedal. Growing up, he also learned to sell cotton, dye yarn, iron and fold, do beading and hand-embroidery.Now based in Santa Cruz, California, Bayo adapts his reverse appliqué and quilting techniques to his contemporary fashion and tailoring practice. He combines the hand-woven, hand-dyed, and embroidered fabrics made by his family in Nigeria with other fabrics, new and upcycled, to create the uniquely designed clothing in his I.B.Bayo line.Bayo also teaches Nigerian Batik and Reverse Appliqué workshops, and gives presentations on his family history, showing clothing that spans from past generations to modern creations.

Meeting and Stash Extravaganza
Scheduled to be our first in person stash Sale since 2019! Instead of a potluck, coffee and snacks will be served starting at 9AM to members who bring items for the Stash Sale.
We will start with a BRIEF zoom meeting for the annual Board Election.
We will do our best to keep a session running in a corner of the space so local and remote members can mingle, but that may prove unworkable.
Planned for live and Zoom simulcast
This is the PenWAG year-end holiday celebration. Besides sharing each others’ excellent company, we get to raid an amazing collection of fabrics, patterns, and other supplies that members donate from their personal stashes, and your donations at the Extravaganza help support all the non-profit activities of PenWAG (including our scholarship fund, which provides scholarships to a high school and a college student trying to gain further education in a design career.). The more you donate, the more PenWAG can do!
