Sashiko Visible Mending

Saturday May 9 from 1-4pm

Sashiko Visible Mending – revive your wardrobe!

This workshop will highlight the act of mending and celebrate textile repair with
Sashiko Japanese Embroidery. With humble beginnings in rural Japan, Sashiko’s
running stitch insulated work garments for warmth and longevity. Moving into
contemporary times around the globe, the bold, geometric beauty of Sashiko
continues to both strengthen and decorate fabrics.

Students will learn how to finish frayed edges, patch a rip or hole, prepare their
distressed textile in order to draw a Sashiko pattern over it. Most importantly,
participants will employ the “small stabs” Sashiko stitching technique to repair or
embellish their project!

Bring in a couple garments to assess for mending or decorating. Ideally, areas to
repair will not exceed four inches. Denim always looks good with Sashiko.
Medium-weight, woven cotton fabrics also work well; cotton or linen shirts,
chinos, corduroys, pants, cotton dresses, even home goods such as napkins or
tablecloths. Please no hand-knits, silky nor stretchy garments. Denim with spandex
is fine. If desired, students may simply practice a Sashiko pattern or two on
sampler patches provided.

Class kit includes access to communal tools and materials plus a pair of Sashiko
needles, fabric squares, and take home pattern instructions.

All skill levels welcome! Wear your good reading glasses.
