A little about sashiko stitching and the workshop

Sashiko is the age-old Japanese technique of visibly mending textiles by adding patches with decorative hand stitching, thereby strengthening the finished item, personalising it and adding to its story. You'll learn the humble origins of sashiko mending, the difference between sashiko and boro, and the many practical and creative applications of the technique.



Sashiko uses simple straight running stitches which anyone can do, but they can be combined in attractive and intricate patterns inspired by nature and the home to add personal meaning to our belongings.



In this workshop we'll use templates and tools to transfer simple sashiko stitch patterns to fabric to create a decorative embroidery. This is a skills workshop in which you'll practice Moyozashi (large scale patterns) in both straight and curved lines, and also Hitomezashi (single stitch designs) which create more intricate patterns. Depending on your skill level and the complexity of your designs you may not finish your items during the workshop, but everyone will take their sewing home with materials, tools and the inspiration they need to continue working on it. Once finished your pieces could be displayed in a frame, used as a coasters, or sewn onto fabric (clothing/tote bag/blanket/etc).



All materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own favourite sewing supplies and tools.



The workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to refresh their hand-sewing skills. Please note, you will need reasonable hand/finger mobility and eyesight.
