Sashiko embroidery is the meditative Japanese stitching practice that turns a simple running stitch into something genuinely beautiful -- and this hands-on sewing class in Seattle is your perfect introduction to it! You’ll learn to work with sashiko needles and thread, master the fundamental running stitch, and use stick-on Sulky Stick and Stitch templates to embroider holiday (and non-holiday) designs onto cocktail napkins you’ll actually want to show off at your next happy hour. Every student takes home a set of sashiko needles, two skeins of thread, and four cocktail napkins to keep the stitching going long after class ends.
This workshop is genuinely for all skill levels -- whether you’ve never threaded a needle or you’ve got a sewing room that would make a craft store jealous. Sashiko is forgiving by nature; its charm lives in its imperfection, simplicity, and flexibility. You’ll find yourself slowing down, breathing a little easier, and discovering that mindful creative activities can look a lot like making something lovely with your hands. Think of it as one of those things to do in Seattle that feeds your soul and sends you home with a gift-worthy finished project.
Class takes place at Swoon City, located at 1716 NW Market Street in Seattle (kitty-corner from Mighty-O Donuts, because good things come in clusters). Additional napkins and thread will be available for purchase if you catch the bug -- and you just might. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early so you can get settled, meet your fellow stitchers, and dive in right on time!
