Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the art of visible mending using the beautiful and functional Japanese technique of Sashiko. Instead of discarding worn or torn clothing, discover how to repair and reinforce fabric with stunning hand-stitched patterns that add character and longevity to your garments. Transform your worn-out clothes into one-of-a-kind treasures!
In this class, you will:
Learn the basics of Sashiko stitching and its history.
Explore different Sashiko patterns and their meanings.
Practice stitching techniques on fabric swatches.
Apply what you’ve learned to mend and decorate a piece of your own clothing (bring a favorite item that needs repair!).
This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced stitchers alike. Whether you want to mend beloved garments, embrace slow fashion, or simply enjoy the meditative process of hand stitching, this class will inspire you to see mending as an opportunity for creativity and self-expression.
All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring a well-loved piece of clothing that you’d like to mend.
Please review our class and refund policy here before registering. Also, please bring a pair of dry shoes to change into on wet days.
