Workshop: Introduction to Sashiko stitching

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese decorative stitching, often used on fabric for reinforcement and aesthetic purposes. It is also known for its meditative quality.

Experience Sashiko with Asaka, who has lived in Japan for over 20 years. You will learn how to draw a traditional Hitomezashi pattern without using templates or pre-printed material. Then, we will practice the specific stitches, working towards completing an ornament using vintage silk Kimono and linen. Materials and warm tea are included. Please book in advance as spaces are limited.

Time: TBC
Place: Ashburton, East st. (Detail sent to participants)
Cost: £15 (Materials & warm drink included) 

★ Sashiko sewing kits and Japanese craft scissors will be on sale during the event for those interested in additional sewing gifts.
