Sashiko Workshop

Come join us for a hands-on experience in the art of Sashiko stitching. Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that literally means “little stabs”, in reference to the repeating tiny stitches that it uses. Often used as a way of repairing or reinforcing damaged clothing, small stitches are used to create geometric, decorative patterns that strengthen the layers of fabric. 

In this workshop, we will cover how to transfer patterns onto fabric, the stitching techniques commonly used in sashiko, and how to apply these methods to your own clothing or textile art pieces. Participants are very welcome to bring along an item of clothing that they would like to repair using sashiko methods. However there will also be fabric available to work on, so bringing clothing is entirely optional. All tools and materials will be provided, and no previous sewing experience is necessary.
