Trial Workshop - Sashiko-Style Stitching

Trial Workshop - Sashiko-Style Stitching

Oswestry Climate Action HubOswestry, England
Overview

Learn to support patches on denim with stitching inspired by Japanese Sashiko. Try out basic decorative patterns and make your mends unique!

NOTE: This is a free trial run of a workshop that I'll later be offering as a paid session, to double check I've got the timing and materials I need. There may be some hiccoughs: incomplete instruction documents, timing issues, etc. I appreciate you bearing with the process!

Learn sashiko-style stitching to help reinforce patching on denim. You'll learn basic sashiko-inspired designs to get you started on your journey with this decorative visible mending technique.

I'll walk you through every step of the process:

  • Selecting fabric for patches
  • Best temporary attachment methods
  • Setting up your grid (I'll have stencils for speed, and rulers if you prefer)
  • Creating the stitches - including some techniques for the neatest outcome
  • Finishing off ends

I'll provide all the tools and materials you'll need for the session, and you'll end up with a sample of sashiko-style stitching you could turn into a coaster (I'll have a handout for you to do this outside of the session), use as a patch, or just as decoration.
