Intro to Sashiko

Registration deadline: West Workshop Presents: Intro to Sashiko Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that uses simple running stitches to create beautiful, repeating patterns—often with white thread on indigo fabric. Originally used to reinforce and repair clothing, it's now loved for both its decorative beauty and connection to sustainable, slow fashion. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to prepare your fabric, transfer patterns, and use the basic running stitch that forms the foundation of Sashiko. You'll get tips on achieving clean lines and even spacing, and we’ll show you how to apply Sashiko for visible mending or simply to add handmade detail to your favorite clothing. Whether you're patching jeans or creating something new, Sashiko is a meditative, accessible technique with beautiful results. Class Schedule: Date: coming soon!
