Ilda da Cruz, the vibrant and talented Coordinator of the LO'UD Cooperative, has many skills, and sewing is just one! Her recent visit to chilly Melbourne brought a wave of nostalgia, taking Deb Salvagno back to 2003 when they first met. While Dili basked in sunlight, Melbourne’s cold kept them indoors, making it the perfect time to dive into sample-making with some of LO’UD’s beautiful textiles.
