This simple yet stunning form of Japanese embroidery is not only highly decorative but multi functional! It can be used to create amazing geometric designs on everything from cushion covers to tote bags and its also a great way to mend and repair garments (especially jeans!)
Join us for this 2.5 hour journey into the history of Sashiko and all the beautiful ways you can use it under the guidance of our embroidery tutor Helen. We will cover:
* Tsukuroi sashi (darning sashiko)
* Moyozashi (Decorative)
* Kugurizashi (Go through sashiko)
