About Crafting Resilience

Regina Dante, based in Tucson, Arizona, is the founder of Crafting Resilience. She is a self-taught sewist with over 28 years of sewing experience and 4 years of teaching experience. In 2025, she launched Crafting Resilience to share her knowledge, foster creativity, and build local resiliency within the community.

Regina is an advocate for reframing sewing as a vital, skilled craft—too often dismissed as “women’s work” or assumed to be automated. She emphasizes that sewing machines are power tools, and every garment, from couture to fast fashion, is handmade by people around the world.

Through Crafting Resilience, Regina not only teaches sewing but also creates a line of thoughtfully made goods, from baby bibs and dog bandanas to lavender sachets and vintage-inspired gift bags. Each piece reflects her belief in slow, intentional making and the value of handmade work in everyday life.
