Sashiko Decorative Mending

Learn the Japanese art of Sashiko in this slow-paced mindful class.

Sashiko is the practice of layering fabrics and patching with thick, colorful threads and decorative patterns.

Use pre-printed patterns on provided fabric or bring your own project to patch.

You will receive one piece of practice Sashiko fabric, one set of Sashiko needles, and get to choose from an array of items to work on during the second part of the class. This can include clothing, blankets, pillows and anything else the instructor offers.

Sashiko thread and scissors are provided. You are not required to bring any tools or projects to this class. Just an open mind and interest in learning a new art.

Sashiko is fabulous for reinforcing or patching knees and elbows on clothing or adding layers for extra warmth. A variety of fabrics can be used and no sewing machine is necessary!
