Sashiko is a type of hand stitching that originated in Japan. Used for mending and embellishment, it has a rich history of tradition and design. Today, many people are discovering it as part of the visible mending movement. Come and learn the basics of stitching, pattern transfer, and tools and techniques. We will be making several small pieces suitable for use as coasters, pincushions, or patches on clothing.

Plan to bring: a sketchbook and bits of fabric or thread from home (optional). All necessary materials will be provided.
