Sashiko Embroidery
Join us to learn this historic embroidery technique.
Service Description
Sashiko is a Japanese stitching technique that was historically used to mend, reinforce, and embellish garments. Traditionally it was often a simple running stitch using white thread on indigo-dyed fabric. Over time, sashiko has evolved into a decorative stitching style using colored threads and a variety of geometric patterns. This is a beginner friendly class and all supplies needed in class will be provided. You will learn some history of Sashiko while also learning how to stencil a Sashiko pattern onto cotton fabric. You will then learn how to stitch a basic Sashiko pattern. You will leave with a piece of Sashiko art that will be suitable for framing, using as a mending patch, or finishing into a coaster. You will receive a needle and needle threader to take home. This class is best suited for participants 13 and older. Hot tea and water are always available but you are welcome to BYOB and snacks.
