Successful Sashiko Workshop

Successful Sashiko Workshop in NYC

Thanks to many people around me sharing the information, I had a great time in NYC with Successful Sashiko Workshop over the weekend of 6/24 and 6/25. It is always a good surprise that people like Sashiko way more than I imagine. I am happy, and mostly relieved, that all of the participants enjoyed the workshop. I hope I can see all the graduates who enjoyed my workshops and meet someone new who is interested in Sashiko workshop.

*For my Sashiko Workshop attendees. If you haven’t received a follow-up e-mail from me in last 6 days, please contact me in earliest convenience. You have some follow-up materials to maximize the workshop experience, and I would like to make sure you get everything.  

 

Boro | Sashiko | Beautiful time with fabric

We offered the basic (regular) Sashiko stitching workshops, Sashiko Mending Workshops, and advanced (Hitomezashi) Workshops. They are all Successful Sashiko Workshops. On top of the techniques and workshops materials, I am very happy that the people enjoyed the Boro and Sashiko pieces I brought to the workshop.

Thanks to one attendee, I now have this beautiful picture with Boro Jackets from Sashi.Co & Keiko Futatsuya. I knew the Boro jacket is stunning. However, the jacket with a tall person was something more than I was imagining. I would like to thank him a lot for the opportunity. (I wish I could be taller… lol )

The time with fabric, either Sashiko stitching with Asano-ha pattern or mending their garment with Sashiko fabric, the time with 3 hours were very beautiful with enjoying, appreciating, and feeling the fabric. Although we do not have the specific date for the next Sashiko workshop in NYC, I hope we can offer the similar opportunity to enjoy Sashiko with me.

Also, I can offer the workshop at your place (in your city) if you prefer that. I am happy to make a trip to your place over the weekend. I am available on weekdays as well, but the rate will be a bit higher. Also, I would ask you to prepare the place to gather as the group with a table and chairs for the workshop and attendees.

Read more about our Hands-on Sashiko Workshops

Read this article to learn what you can expect to our HandsOn Sashiko Workshops.

Our goal through this website is to share our techniques and information. However, it is the best way to meet the instructors and learn from them. The workshops aren’t like the lecture you would just listen to the talking. You would move your hands to learn how to use the Sashiko thimble and needles, The instructor will sit down next to you and put hands on your hands to teach if necessary.

 

Although there is not “right” technique for the Sashiko stitching, we are proud of our accumulation of techniques and its uniqueness. I believe that, once you master our stitching method, the stitching process will speed up and you can enjoy more Sashiko project. As a result, your stitching skill will improve. The more you enjoy the Sashiko project, the better your stitching looks.
