Want to learn how to stylishly mend your clothing? Sashiko is a Japanese mending technique that uses the running stitch to patch and reinforce garments with stylish geometric stitch patterns. In this 2-hour hands-on workshop with fiber artist and author Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ you’ll learn how to get started mending your clothing with sashiko.
We’ll cover how to design a pattern, reinforce a garment with a patch, prep your thread, create the running stitch, finish your thread, and care for your garment. All materials are provided.
Add flair to your wardrobe and upcycle your well-loved denim with this craft idea! Bring some friends along to support each other as you learn a new skill. Or use this workshop as a gift idea for a crafter in your life!
