About this Event
Sashiko is a Japanese running stitch traditionally used to mend and strengthen textiles and clothing, as well as creating geometric patterns.
In this hands on workshop, learn the basics of Japanese sashiko stitching and apply it to embellish a tea towel.
You will learn how to work with sashiko needles and thread and sew a running stitch.
Each student will take home a set of sashiko needles, thread, and tea towel.
Sashiko is an excellent way to slow down and stitch with mindfulness. I find the beauty in its imperfection and its simplicity, flexibility and adaptability to many projects.
This workshop is for sewers of all levels, from beginners to experienced.
Workshop limited to 5 students.
