About this Event
🧵 Got jeans that are sad, worn out, or just plain boring? It’s time to bring them back to life and make them uniquely yours.
Join Eva, Fashion and Textile Technologies graduate and sustainable fashion advocate, for a 2 hour Sashiko embroidery workshop at Kings of Indigo. In this session, you’ll learn how a traditional Japanese stitching technique can turn holes, frays, and faded denim into bold, beautiful design statements.
Sashiko was originally used to repair and strengthen worn clothing. Today, it’s part of visible mending needwhere each stitch is celebrated, imperfections become intentional, and your clothes tell a story. In Eva’s hands, repairing your denim becomes not just practical, but playful, creative, and deeply satisfying.
Bring a pair of jeans that need love, whether it’s ripped, faded, or just forgotten in the back of your closet. Eva will guide you through simple techniques that transform your denim into something you’ll actually want to wear again. No prior stitching experience required, just a willingness to play with fabric and thread.
What’s included:
👖 Bring one pair of denim jeans to repair or refresh
🧵 All Sashiko materials provided (thread, needles, fabric, and more)
✨ Guidance, tips, and inspiration from Eva
