Sashiko is a method of hand stitching that originated in Japan. It is characterized by intricate, repeating designs created by stitching with cotton thread. It is used for mending garments that are worn out, reinforcing high-wear areas, and to add beautiful geometric patterns just for fun. Sashiko stitching can be traced all the way back to the Edo period (1603–1868)!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a small group of up to 4 participants, you'll learn about the specific thread and needles used for Sashiko and create your own patch based on your choice of traditional or modern design. You'll take your needle and thread home with you at the end of the class so you can continue your stitching journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHO SHOULD TAKE THIS WORKSHOP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults (16+)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper beginner: it's ok if this is your first time hand stitching.
