About this Event
Try your hand at Moyozashi Sashiko (pattern sashiko) which uses dashed line running stitches of even size where the stitches never touch each other to create the patterns.
Choose from either a plastic sashiko template or one of the tutor Rob of Romor Designs' own designs and transfer your pattern onto a vintage indigo square to stitch.
Once your stitching is completed, you will be shown how to attach a vintage piece of fabric to the back of your sashiko square and learn to hand close your coaster using slip stitch and finally top stitch the coaster
Who is this class for?: Beginner / looking for an introduction to Japanese embroidery
