Sashiko is a traditional Japanese mending and decoration technique. It is a fantastic way to repair both woven and knit garments as well as being a fun way to add decoration.
In this hands-on, project-driven class you will learn how to decorate and repair your clothes and other textiles.
We'll cover:
- tools and resources needed to practice Sashiko
- general repair principles
- how to set up a garment repair for success
- how to continue to develop your craft
Included in the class is everything you need in order to do Sashiko:
- Sashiko needles
- Sashiko thread
- Sashiko grid templates
- Water-washable markers
- Sample denim patches for both repair and stand-alone projects
If you have garments you would like to repair, please bring them to the class. I supply patch material for both woven and knit garment repairs, although we'll stick to the denim squares for the demo projects if not making a repair.
