In this Sashiko Stitching workshop, you will learn how to use the unique round shape thimble and a long Sashiko needle by stitching the traditional Asano-ha (Hemp) pattern. The instructor, Atsushi, will demonstrate, explain, and teach you how to enjoy Sashiko stitching.
This is a basic Sashiko workshop, yet eye-opening, and will allow you to enjoy the process of Sashiko stitching more. The technique you will learn can be used in other projects such as Boro making and mending with Sashiko fabric.
No previous stitching or embroidery experience is required to take this class. The provided kit has large enough fabric and material to make a tote bag, placemats, or several coasters after completing the Sashiko stitching.
Learn more about Atsushi and his journey with Sashiko by attending his lecture on Friday, August 13th from 6:30 - 7:30PM. Sign ups are free for workshop attendees
