Visible Mending Series: Mending Clothing with Sashiko Stitching
Join visible mender, Mariko Sugimori to learn about the history of Sashiko, a technique to reinforce worn fabric and/or repair textiles, and work on some Sashiko samplers.
All the materials will be provided, but attendees are invited to bring in woven, not stretchy clothing to practice this technique on.
This class is recommended for individuals with some hand-sewing experience. Registration is required and opens on Wednesday, September 4 at 6:30 PM on the eventbrite page here.
Mariko, Instagram @Mona_and_Zoe, started her love of fiber arts as a child sewing doll clothes on her mom’s vintage Singer sewing machine and learning to knit at her local yarn store. Her creative visible mending journey of the past 8 years was in large part inspired and influenced by her Japanese father’s concept of Mottainai, which roughly translates to “what a waste.” It’s a phrase commonly used to express regret of throwing something away when it still holds value.
