WORKSHOP: Sashiko, Bring it Back

Join us at Studio Boter for a workshop where Sashiko, a Japanese mending technique, is used to mend a piece of your clothing.

In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll apply your Sashiko mending skills to a piece of your own clothing, transforming it back into something wearable with guidance from Slash or Dye. Come with a vision, and we’ll help you make it real—or, if you’re still figuring it out, we’ll be there to spark your creativity and guide the process.

This is a class for those who have a basic understanding of Sashiko and have practiced the technique at a beginner level. All you need to participate is the desire to improve your craft and a piece of clothing that needs some mending love. It's that simple!! If you have not started your Sashiko journey and would like to learn the basics, check out our Sashiko, the Basics workshop.

A few things to note, this technique is to strengthen the fibers of worn woven fabrics. Make sure to bring a piece of clothing made from a woven fabric (denim, twill and canvas are some examples of woven fabrics) and Slash or Dye will provide all the materials; Sashiko needles, thread and patterns. We will also provide a variety of fabric swatches and if you would like to bring your own, just make sure the fabric weight matches back to piece you are bringing to mend.
