Boro + Sashiko Basics Workshop
This workshop, run by Leith Makers on Saturday 1st February, will introduce you to Boro Mending and Sashiko Embroidery techniques!
About Boro + Sashiko Basics Workshop
Many cultures have their own unique way of decorating or repairing textiles, Boro Mending and Sashiko Embroidery are two such techniques originating from Japan. Both use a running stitch to breathe new life into clothing/textiles as part of a simple and mindful practice.
This workshop will introduce you to the hand-sewing techniques and skills required to create your own authentic Boro patching or traditional Sashiko embroidery designs.
All materials and equipment will be provided, you just need to bring a garment (or two) which you’d like to refresh or repair. Denim garments are particularly suited to these techniques as they were originally developed to decorate/repair indigo-dyed textiles.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
