Sashiko Visible Mending
November 13th 5:30pm
55$ Per participant
I have been captivated by visible mending for some time, and I really love the concept of using visible mending as a statement about giving your favorites new life and not always buying new. As garments wear out, we can creatively give new life and beauty with just a little time and knowledge. Sashiko, or Boro stitching, is a japanese technique of a series of running stitches that can add pattern, color, and reinforcement to your repairs. Don’t cover your worn spots, make them stand out!
Participants will learn the process of Sashiko stitching to add a bit of flair to your clothing repairs. Bring a pair of jeans, a favorite shirt that may have a tear or hole, or a well loved jacket and join us for a stitching session! Participants will receive a sashiko kit for the class which includes a palm thimble, sashiko needles, a spool of heavy sashiko thread of your choice of color, and a washable pattern patch. Bring fabrics that you may want to use for your repair, we will have denim scraps of various colors to use as well. Come patch some holes and learn a wonderful technique for visible mending!
