Event Overview
Staying home to flatten the COVID-19 curve? Good For You! You're part of the solution friends.
Experiencing cabin fever and wanting something meditave and calming to do at home in these strange times? You're not alone.
Join me for an online version of (Socially Distant) Sashiko Stitching.
Sashiko comes to us from Japan and uses incredibly simple materials to repair worn or torn fabric, add decorative top stitching, or both.
Its simple, repetative stitches are a fantastic way to slow down, breathe deeply, and to put your (very, very, very clean) hands to good use.
We'll learn:
- to mark out a simple pattern (sent to you ahead of time),
- how to prep your materials (needle, thread, cloth, ruler, marking pencil of some kind -- no hoops or fancy extras needed),
- how to s-l-o-w down and enjoy this repetative, meditative stitching,
- where you might use Sashiko in mending and/or as decoration & customization for your clothing
- how Sashiko helps us keep the clothes we love longer and helps reduce our footprint on this big blue globe
I'll send a Zoom link and pattern ideas out to all registered folks
