The Art of Sashiko Drafting

Welcome to the Art of Sashiko. Sashiko is what we do to textiles before mending is needed! The first portion of the workshop begins with an overview of Sashiko, a demo of Unshin and a pre-printed design, making it easier to follow and grow in confidence with your hand-stitching rhythm as we move to the second phase, drafting! You will no longer be limited to the pre-printed sampler panels that are widely available. Maday will guide you through drafting two designs on linen/cotton fabric. We will also have templates available for additional drafting. This workshop is open to everyone whether you have taken a Sashiko workshop before or not. Please bring a garment you would like to add Sashiko stitching to.
