Sashiko Scarf



Saturday May 3, 1-4PM

Using the Japanese practice of Sashiko Embroidery create a unique and versatile scarf or shawl. A
simple running stitch creates bold, geometric designs inspired by nature, art, and architecture. In this
workshop, we will handle Sashiko needles, prepare Sashiko thread, draw out grids and patterns.
Using our “small stabs” stitching strategy, we will embellish and transform a soft cotton 36 inch
square into a striking, functional accessory. Choose from a selection of Sashiko patterns and floral
motif stencils. We’ll provide everything you need.

All skill levels welcome!

Class Kit Includes- 
One yard of cotton fabric, one pair of Olympus brand Sashiko needles, 1 skein of Sashiko thread,
pattern instructions, fabric marker, circle templates, 6-inch mini ruler, tapestry needle threader

conditioner, communal colorful skeins of Sashiko Olympus thread strands, fabric markers and
