Come discover the time-honoured Japanese sashiko technique for mending and revitalising damaged textiles!

Sashiko, which translates as "little stabs", is a traditional Japanese hand-sewing technique that dates back centuries. More than just a method of mending and strengthening the fabric, in modern times, it also reflects the Japanese idea of "mottainai", which means waste not, want not.

In this beginner's workshop, explore a range of sashiko and hand-sewing methods. Learn how to apply patches in a unique way, weave both strengthening and decorative sashiko stitches into your fabric, and master efficient hand-sewing using the sashiko approach. After this workshop, you'll be equipped with the skills to breathe new life into well-loved garments, giving them a distinct flair!

The workshop will be held with a minimum of five participants. If this is not reached 24 hours prior to the start of the course, you will receive a refund. Thank you !
