Work wizardry on your worn out denim in this Sashiko mending workshop! Breathe new life into damaged garments by transforming them into one of a kind pieces with new durability and beauty! Traditionally used for Kimono repair, Sashiko is a simple yet beautiful technique that is easy to learn and gives a second chance to just about any clothing item that needs mending. Participants will be lead through an introduction to Sashiko mending and within class-time we will cover the basics of stitching patterns on a practice sampler.
