Making these 5 panel hats are my new obsession! This project is fat quarter-friendly and no special tools are required.

Customize your hat by attending the Patchwork Sashiko Workshop on Friday, February 13 to create a one-of-a-kind raw edged, hand-stitched piece to use for the front panel of the hat.

Patchwork Sashiko Hexies
Saturday, March 28, 10am - 4pm EDT
Learn how to transform your scraps into a beautiful new textile! Experience Diana’s unique mash-up of different slow stitching and patchwork techniques from her brand new book, "Patchwork Sashiko: Transform Your Scraps" from C&T Publishing. You’ll start with a stack of scraps and learn how to transform them into a beautiful new textile! Then, you’ll use the stitching technique you’ve learned and stitch additional fabric pieces to add some variety. All of this will be turned into English Paper Piecing (EPP) hexagons you can use to create a wonderfully textural and colorful piece of art. The visual effect is striking! We will make 4 Patchwork Sashiko hexagons plus 3 single-layered/hand-stitched hexagons, and also cover how to hand-sew them together.
