Turn simple notebooks into beautiful, stitched treasures!
Discover the art of sashiko, the traditional Japanese stitching technique, with a creative twist. In this relaxing, hands-on workshop, you’ll explore how to use sashiko stitching to embellish soft card notebook covers, creating beautifully textured designs that are both practical and decorative.
Whether you’re new to sashiko or already enjoy hand stitching, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with patterns and stitches to make your notebooks truly individual. Why not create a coordinated set of three notebooks, perfect for keeping alongside your sewing, knitting or other craft projects?
You can bring your own ready-made notebooks to embellish, or create your own from card and paper available on the day. For an extra-special finishing touch, you could even make a fabric pouch to hold your notebooks and a pen, embellished with matching sashiko stitching.
Come along, slow down and enjoy the mindful pleasure of stitching while creating something useful, beautiful and uniquely yours. A lovely workshop for stitchers of all abilities, and a wonderful way to combine creativity with everyday practicality.
