Visible Mending / Sashiko Denim Workshop

Description

In this class, we'll explore Sashiko, the Japanese hand-stitching technique that has been used for centuries to repair and reinforce textiles. Not only does Sashiko add beauty to your fabric, but it also strengthens it, giving new life to clothes that may otherwise be thrown away. By learning foundational Sashiko stitches, you’ll be able to mend and embellish your denim with intricate geometric patterns, creating a unique, one-of-a-kind piece that tells a story. Sashiko is an art form rooted in sustainability—embracing the idea of 'repairing rather than replacing' and celebrating the longevity of clothing. Whether you're fixing a beloved pair of jeans or adding decorative flair to a jacket, this workshop offers a creative and mindful way to care for your clothes and the planet. No prior sewing experience needed—just bring your denim and come ready to create something beautiful and lasting!
