Bio

My name is Ceci Cholst Zeichner. I’m a fashion designer in New York City, so I’m no stranger to the hustle and bustle of a creative industry. However, like so many working people, I just could not get used to the last-minute changes that made days or weeks of work worthless, managers forcing one person to do the work of three people thanks to budget cuts, or the revolving door of fellow co-workers trying to find greener pastures in an industry that prioritizes speed over craft. I, like so many others in so many industries, felt like a faded scrap of fabric–worn from use but still strong, still beautiful, still valuable.

I realized that the cure to fast fashion was educating people about all of the invisible labor that goes into our clothes and how we shouldn’t just casually throw that work away. I created my Pochoir.NYC DIY Embroidery Bliss Kits to encourage people to use embroidery to upcycle their wardrobes and pick up a new, mindful hobby.
