Event Details

Enjoy the Japanese art of Sashiko, or “little stabs” stitching!  

In this class, you will learn the basics of Sashiko stitching. Sashiko means little stabs and is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery used for the decorative and functional reinforcement of cloth and clothing. While learning the basics, you will practice on a small sampler pattern that can be turned into a coaster, patch, pincushion, or other piece at a later date! 
 
After the demonstration, you can stay to work on your sampler and interact with others in the class. Ready to take your project to the next level? Schedule a one-on-one session with Exchange staff to get your authorization to use the sewing machines.
