About this Event
Join us for a hands-on Sashiko creative stitching session and learn how to embellish and repair your clothes with beauty and purpose.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stitcher, this relaxed and supportive session will guide you through the basics of Sashiko, from selecting fabric and thread to planning and stitching your own visible mends.
We’ll explore simple geometric patterns and talk about how mending can help reduce textile waste while reconnecting us with the things we wear.
Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 3 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
