“Stitched in Time”
This workshop will have something to challenge every level of expertise in the art of Sashiko. Materials kit required - see below.
Projects:
1. Starting with the basic rhythm of unshin, we will make a simple Boro piece “patching”. Unshin means the rhythm of the stitch.
Bring a small (3"x3") piece of embroidery, handwork, quilted fabric, or similar to incorporate into the piece such as the Lady Liberty embroidery shown.
2. Move on to Hitomezashi weaving that can be used as a button.
3. The last piece will start on a pre-made Sashiko fabric, and the student will learn the decorative stitches in the pattern to form a tree.
