This is an invitation to slow down.

Join us for a cozy, hands-on Sashiko mending circle at Tremain Smith’s studio. Using this traditional Japanese hand-stitching technique, we’ll learn to visibly mend garments with intention and care—honoring imperfection and extending the life of what we wear.

Whether you’ve never held a needle or you’re already mending at home, this workshop welcomes all experience levels. We’ll move at a gentle pace, with time to breathe, sip tea, and be in community.

We’ll provide everything you need to get started:

• Sashiko needles and thread
• Scrap fabrics for patching
• Design transfers from Approved Textiles printed on water-soluble stabilizer
• Guidance from Sarah Tremain
• Tea and good vibes

Just bring one garment you'd like to mend—denim, woven cotton, canvas, or other stable fabrics work best.

• $40 per session
  Includes all materials and tools to use during class.

Spaces are limited to keep the vibe cozy and focused.
