Advanced Patch-Making Workshop: Visible Mending With Sashiko

Join the renewed trend of repairing your clothing with beautiful traditional Japanese mending techniques and patterns. This class meets in person at the Falmouth Art Center.

Saturday, March 4
9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Sashiko mending was first recorded in Japan in the 16th century when peasants repaired worn-out clothing by layering scraps to cover holes, strengthening garments to last for many years.

Using thread + needles specifically made for sashiko, students will learn to creatively repair or embellish their favorite garments.

Workshop Instructor: Crickett Warner. Crickett learned to sew, quilt, and knit from her grandmother.  With thrift and hip-ness in mind, she patched her first pair of jeans in the mid-70’s and has been rescuing clothing ever since. In the past few years, the trend of “upcycled” clothing has grown and a movement toward “slow fashion” — make, mend or thrift your wardrobe — with the environment in mind.
