Sashiko Stitching Class

NZ$45.00

Sashiko is a striking hand-sewing technique that originated in ancient Japan. In Japanese, its name means “little stabs”—a reference to the plain running stitch that makes up sashiko’s geometric, all-over patterns. Sashiko is usually described as a kind of embroidery.

I love this method of stitching, slow and relaxing.

In this class you will learn

  • how to mark out a sashiko pattern onto the fabric

  • what fabric, tools, threads, needles and notions to use

  • how to stitch your design.

In the class we will be making a 12” x 12” design and I will have samples of what I have made my sashiko stitched fabric into and a pattern for you.

Class date Saturday 20th March 2021 10 - 2

Class fee $45-00

Note: the photos are not the designs we will be working on, just an example
