FABRICS AND MORE! > LEATHER & LACE by Cathe Holden in her journey). When creating these fabric collages Cathe enjoys contrasting the masculine and feminine, the hard and so, and artfully placed an industrial pin next to pretty little birds, and a label’s sturdy typography next to curvilinear roses. Healing Creatively Working on this collection (and others) during her treatment and ongoing recovery provided Cathe with a much-needed escape from the world of chemo and radiation. “Being able to do that made me feel grounded and more like myself,” she says. “It was everything.” Along with the energy provided by her creative work, Cathe gathered strength from the online world. “It made me feel like I had a purpose—to inspire, share, and dialogue with others.” Aer she shared how she discovered her cancer, Instagram followers reported getting their own check- ups. “If you have a platform, it would seem a shame not to try and help someone.” at communication was denitely a two-way street and she fully appreciated the heart emojis and words of encouragement that lled her feed. “In these tough times, in this tough world, you have no idea how lovely people are and that helped me a lot,” says Cathe. Along with the signicant challenges posed, Cathe cites the positives that came with breast cancer—the people like her oncology nurses that she grew attached to, and the kindness, love, and support she felt from her Moda family that meant the world to her. e experience also taught her about items that bring comfort to breast cancer patients, like heart-shaped pillows that alleviate post- surgical discomfort, and she worked with Moda to provide patterns and avenues for sharing them with hospitals and clinics. ese appeal to Cathe’s love of small projects and her desire to give back. For Cathe, Leather & Lace and Amazing Grace is akin to a visual journal. “Cancer isn’t my identity, it’s just my experience and Leather & Lace and Amazing Grace reects that,” she says. “It’s lled with many blessings.”
