(SEATTLE) Sashiko Patch Workshop

Wed July 29 - 6:30-8:30pm

Sashiko Patch Workshop

Bring garments or textiles you’d like to mend or embellish to our hands‑on patching workshop with a focus on sashiko style stitching methods.

Learn methods of hand sewing patches and stitching sashiko inspired designs, explore decorative stitching, and leave with revived pieces you can be proud of—all in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Sherry will demonstrate several methods for hand‑sewing patches and adding sashiko‑inspired designs, and you’ll have time to practice and work on your own items. You'll have the opportunity to use stick-on design templates to stitch sashiko designs, or try your hand to design our own.
