Yumiko's Design Goal: Each Garment Looks and Feels Beautiful to Wear!

Join Yumiko Alexander, the innovative mind behind DanDoh, as she shares her philosophy of creating elegant, modern and stylish garments that are as enjoyable to make as they are to wear. Her designs blend simple shapes with distinctive stitch patterns, creating pieces that flatter all body types. Yumiko will explain how her patterns can be customized to suit your style, empowering you to create a garment that becomes a go-to wardrobe staple—one that makes you feel beautiful.

She’ll also explore the role plant fibers and yarn structures play in enhancing the drape, comfort, and wearability of her timeless designs.
