Sashiko meaning ‘little stab’ is the Japanese art of stitching beautiful patterns using running stitch. Often used to add strength, texture and warmth to old garments, Sashiko has become synonymous with complex repeating patterns and precise stitching. ⁠
⁠

In this class you will learn:

  • How to mark up your patterns on fabric using a variety of pens and templates
  • How to stitch neatly and precisely, Sashiko is all about even stitching!
  • The rights and wrongs turning corners, crossing lines and intersections
  • Starting and finishing a row of stich allowing room for stretching and washing

You will stitch a choice of patterns on a white cotton tote bag as a project using sashiko threads in a colour and pattern of your choosing.

Included in the class price of £55.00:

  • White cotton tote bag
  • Sashiko needle
  • Sashiko thread in a choice of colours
