Sashiko Embroidery for Beginners
£45.00

About this class


There’s something incredibly satisfying about Japanese Sashiko. Simple stitches, striking geometric patterns and that wonderfully calming feeling of making something slowly, by hand.

Originally used in Japan to strengthen and repair textiles, Sashiko has become a beautiful contemporary embroidery style and once you get into the rhythm of those tiny stitches, it’s surprisingly addictive.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the story behind Sashiko, master the simple running stitch and discover how to create its distinctive geometric patterns. You’ll then start your own Sashiko design on a tote bag to take home and finish.

No embroidery experience needed at all. We’ll guide you through it step by step. Because once you know how to Sashiko, you'll start looking at everything differently…

That denim jacket? Sashiko it.
A favourite pair of jeans? Sashiko them.
Cushions, bags, clothes, wall hangings? Absolutely.

Our Sashiko workshops at The Handmade Festival sold out in days; so we’re bringing this beautiful craft back to London.

Come for the stitching. Leave with a new obsession.
