Bring your cell phone and/or camera.

Free. Workshop for ages 12 and up, registration requested, limited to 20 participants.

As a way to reduce waste and/or personalize clothing and household goods – we’ll learn and practice together one method of Visible Mending: Sashiko Stitching.

In this workshop – we’ll recognize the deep history of Sashiko, select our favorite traditional (and/or modern) Sashiko patterns, learn how to mark and patch our fabric, practice getting evenly sized and spaced stitches, and work towards mending a favorite worn or torn item of clothing that participants bring with them. We’ll reinforce knees and elbows, add beauty and patches to collars and hems, and enjoy the slow and meditative stitching that is Sashiko.

Please bring something that’s worn, torn, or otherwise in need of repair. Best to bring non-stretchy fabric – denim, cotton, linen fabrics are easiest to repair.

Free. Workshop 16 and up, registration requested, limited to 15 participants.
