laia garcia sanchez

Laia has been knitting and sewing for more than ten years at this point, learning the basics from her mom. She lives with two cats in her native Barcelona where she works as a translator and interpreter. In her spare time she enjoys true crime, vintage fashion, birding and medieval art. Laia spent 11 years living in San Francisco and exploring the American West with her camera in search of neon signs and other roadside weirdness. You can see her photos at @neonsandsigns on Instagram. Whether knitting or sewing, Laia prefers to work from vintage patterns and fabrics, going back as far as the 1890’s.
