What: Learn Sashiko, the Japanese art of visible mending!

Sashiko (literally “little stabs”) is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching (or functional embroidery) from Japan. Traditional sashiko was used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches. Today this running stitch technique is often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery. The white cotton thread on the traditional indigo blue cloth gives sashiko its distinctive appearance, though decorative items sometimes use red and other colored thread.

This workshop is lead by Sabrina, of Bend Alterations. Sabrina has been sewing professionally for over 45 years. She is truly a master of her craft!

All materials will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring in your torn clothing in need of mending!
