Visible Mending Workshop: Sashiko & Boro TechniquesSaturday February 15th from 10am to 1pm
Entry Level Class—No experience necessary
Age 14+ (minors must accompany an adult)
Learn how to repair your denim staples with the centuries old art of Sashiko and Boro mending.
A traditional sewing technique from Japan, Sashiko means "little stabs," which perfectly describes the distinctive running stitch that defines Sashiko's style. Boro is the result of generations of repetitive sashiko repairs, patches, and reworking the same textile to extend its use for generations. This workshop will introduce you to how to use these visible mending techniques on denim. So, gather your favorite ripped, worn, and snagged denim jackets, jeans, and chambray shirts!
Everyone will try various stitches and learn how to choose techniques that will make a strong, long-lasting repair. We’ll cover best practices with a variety of denim and linen fabrics available for patching and stabilizing your pieces.
** Please bring your own clothing to mend and any preferred patching fabric you may have. Jeans, chinos, denim skirts/jackets, chambray shirts all work great! **
