Explore the depth of Sashiko Art handstitching. This is an Intermediate Level and participants should have completed the Basic Fundamental Sashiko Art Workshop. Using both the decorative Sashiko stitches of Hitomezashi running stitches and Kugurizashi weaving method, the finished motif is dense, complex and textured. As no two pieces are ever identical; each carries the imprint of the maker’s presence. The process is slow and intentional, inviting the maker into a meditative state where time softens and attention sharpens. Participants will also learn the Darning method of repairing. It reminds us that mending is not just about fixing what is broken, but about honouring what already exists and giving it new life.

ABOUT LILI:

Lili is based in Singapore and is a solo worker. What began as a personal exploration of Sashiko has grown into a deep appreciation for its philosophy of mending, sustainability, and embracing imperfections. Through her work, Lili blends traditional Sashiko techniques with her own modern aesthetic, creating them into crafts. She believes that hand stitching provides a calming and grounding practice that connects the hands, heart, and mind. As a workshop facilitator, Lili guides participants through the basics of Sashiko, encouraging them to slow down, enjoy the process, and discover the beauty in every stitch. Her work contributes to a significant cause, namely "My Faith Projects" and her love goes beyond handstitching to knitting, sewing and crocheting.
