Discover the art of Sashiko at Reading Sewing Bee!
Join us for a relaxing and rewarding hand-sewing experience with our Sashiko workshops.
We cover two techinques in two classes:
Hitomezashi Sashiko: Unleash Your Inner Mending Master!
Hitomezashi Sashiko isn't just about pretty patterns – it's a super-simple stitch that can turn mending into an art form! Forget the traditional indigo and white – we're digging into our fabric stash to revive the original spirit of sashiko: reinforcing and beautifying our clothes!
Get ready to: *Transform snags and tears into stunning, visible repairs. *Embrace the wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) of your favorite garments. *Unlock the creative potential of everyday fabrics and threads.
Moyouzashi Sashiko: Ever been mesmerized by those beautiful white-on-indigo sashiko patterns? That's Moyouzashi sashiko in action!
You'll learn the secrets of creating these captivating designs.
Get ready to: *Master the art of running stitch to create geometric patterns and motifs. *Transform everyday objects like bags, table runners, and cushion covers into stunning works of art. *Embrace the tranquility of this meditative stitching technique.
No prior experience necessary! These workshops are perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of Japanese elegance to their home or wardrobe. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the beauty of Sashiko!
