July 25: Patchwork Sashiko Top Embellishment
Date: Saturday, July 25, 9-4pm
Location: St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild (STLMQG)
Diana's Patchwork Sashiko Method is a unique mash-up of different slow stitching and patchwork techniques. This method produces not only a beautiful textile, but can be applied to clothing. We'll practice laying out a patchwork and hand-stitching before applying it to your own favorite scraps and top. The top should be made of woven fabric (not stretch/jersey) and will be easier to implement if the front is open or is buttoned up. A sewing machine is not needed for this workshop.
