Sashiko Mending Workshop

The original visible mending technique! Learn this century-old Japanese method of fabric repair and turn those hole-ridden pairs of jeans into a work of art.

Session Highlights:

• We’ll walk you through the Sashiko method and form, including how to do a running stitch
• Learn the best application of this practical art form and how to prep your fabric and plan your project
• Go home with the piece you mended in class, plus your very own Sashiko starter kit (large and small Sashiko needles, a palm thimble, and a water-soluble pencil), ready for your next project

Optional: Bring in an item you would like to start mending in class (we recommend items made of tightly woven cotton or natural fibers such as denim, canvas, and linen)
