Patchwork Sashiko Clothing Embellishment
Thursday, April 30, 9am -3pm CST
Don’t miss this workshop featured in Diana’s brand new book, “Patchwork Sashiko: Transform Your Scraps” from C&T Publishing. Diana’s Patchwork Sashiko Method is a unique mash-up of different slow stitching and patchwork techniques. Learn how to integrate sustainability practices into your own closet. We’ll start with creating a sample to learn the slow-stitching technique. Then, use what we’ve learned to apply it using your own upcycled scraps and garment top. The result is scrappy and raw and totally unique! Recommended fabric for the top is woven or large knit (no fine knits) and will be easier to implement if it opens fully in the front.
