Brace yourselves, we're going back in time, diving into the world of 'Komebukuro', the traditional Japanese rice bag, using the almost mystical art of Boro Mending Stitches. Watch as an everyday running stitch turns into a glorious tribute to Japanese Mending!
Our guide on this textile time travel? None other than Amanda, the grandmaster of Sashiko Stitching. This isn't just a workshop, it's a philosophical journey into recycling and re-loving our precious fabrics. You're not just making a bag, you're making a statement, a tale of sustainability woven in threads.
Got a beloved but battered garment? Bring it along and we'll show you how to breathe new life into it with this priceless skill that's a celebration of creativity and sustainability.
If you're worried about getting your Komebukuro just right, we've got a follow-up class lined up. So, join us on this covert crafting operation and connect with tradition while creating something absolutely fabulous!
