Sashiko Denim Workshop. Learn the Art of Sashiko Mending.

Join Detroit Denim Co. in Carhartt's Workshop on Cass Avenue for an afternoon workshop on sashiko stitching. Learn the Japanese method of fabric repair. Bring in your favorite denim piece and learn to mend or embellish it with your own sashiko repair. There will be onsite industrial darning and sewing machines to help with any major repairs and you will choose from a wide variety of denim samples to help mend your garment. A custom made wool felt & leather denim pouch filled with sashiko supplies comes with the workshop so you don't need to bring anything other than your favorited denim piece and a dose of curiosity towards coolness. Part of Design Core's Detroit Month of Design 2021.

Each ticket includes a handmade wool and leather repair kit.

1. Sashiko needles

2. Sashiko thread (2 colors)

3. Golden Eagle thread snips

4. Iron off tailors chalk

5. Tailors tape measure

and a rather large supply of denim scraps to use.
