You’ll learn how to block print a textile and add a running stitch that can be used to create limitless designs. You will learn how to measure sashiko to create your own unique patterns, as well as how to use ready-made patterns. In addition to learning about block printing, you’ll learn a skill that can be used in all your basic sewing or mending needs. Bring a garment to embellish! All other materials provided.
