Sashiko 刺し子, meaning "little stabs" in Japanese, began centuries ago as a practical way for farmers and fishermen to repair and strengthen clothing and household textiles. Using simple running stitches, they created gemetric patterns over worn areas, giving fabric a new life and supporting sustainable living. Overtime, Sashiko evolved into a cherished art form that reflects Japanese values of simplicity, harmony and respect for nature. Today, its motifs are widely used in crafts and textiles, adding strength abd a unique aesthetic touch. In this Basic Beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn the calm, meditative rhythm of Sashiko handstitching. Along the way, they will practice patience, precision and mindful stitching while embracing the beauty of small imperfections. The workshop welcomes participants with/without sewing experience. Participants will learn both decorative Sashiko stitches on a Hitomezashi motif and practical Boro repair techniques for sustainable use.
