earn Sashiko mending: patch, reinforce, and decorate garments with traditional Japanese stitching. Practice on your clothes or provided fabric.
What you’ll do

This class introduces the technique of Sashiko mending. With humble beginnings in rural Japan, Sashiko’s running stitch insulated work garments for warmth and longevity. Learn how to patch and repair a rip or hole, reinforce a worn area, and prepare distressed textile in order to draw a Sashiko grid and stitch a pattern. Choose from a variety of traditional Sashiko patterns. Bring in one or two garments to assess for mending or decorating. Medium-weight, woven fabrics work best; such as denim, cotton or linen. If desired, students may simply practice a Sashiko pattern or two on sampler patches provided.

All supplies are provided (thread, needles, thimble, fabric to practice on, chalk, patterns, scraps to use as patches). Students will take home their two needles, twenty-two yards of cotton Sashiko thread, and a Sashiko thimble.
