In this 2-hour, hand sewing class, you will learn a running stitch, backstitch and prick stitch to create sashiko-inspired patches. These hand stitches are fun and functional, adding strength and visual interest to worn out clothing. They are also great for stain cover-ups. Students often say this practice feels meditative. Feel free to bring your favorite jeans, denim jacket or just come make a patch to use in the future. All materials are included. This class is great for anyone who wants to learn a fun new skill and is aged 12+. If you are looking for a class for someone younger than 12, please see our 1:1 lessons.
