Introduction to Sashiko
Advertisement
Discover the art of Sashiko, a traditional Japanese hand-stitching craft that transforms simple thread into beautiful geometric patterns.
Born in rural Japan during the Edo period, Sashiko—which means "little stabs"—began as a practical running-stitch used historically to mend, reinforce, and layer worn clothing. This utilitarian craft has evolved into a celebrated decorative art form.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will learn:
• The fundamentals of Sashiko needles, thread, and fabric.
• Hand-stitching techniques for perfectly even, rhythmic stitches.
• Pattern transferring to map out classic designs.
No prior sewing experience is required—just a desire to slow down and create with your hands. Supplies included to create your own take-away $25.
