Sashiko is a traditional Japanese mending and decoration technique. It is a fantastic way to repair both woven and knit garments as well as being a fun way to add decoration.

In this hands-on, project-driven class you will learn how to decorate and repair your clothes and other textiles. We'll cover:

• tools and resources needed to practice Sashiko

• general repair principles

• how to set up a garment repair for success

• how to continue to develop your craft

Included in the class is everything you need in order to do Sashiko:

• Sashiko needles

• Sashiko thread

• Sashiko grid templates

• Water-washable markers

• Sample denim patches for both repair and stand-alone projects

If you have garments you would like to repair, please bring them to the class. I supply patch material for both woven and knit garment repairs, although we'll stick to the denim squares for the demo projects if not making a repair.
