Sashiko Workshop - Tue. 18th Mar.

Gather 'round, you curious crafters and textile enthusiasts, for today, we delve into the world of "Komebukuro," those charmingly deceptive Japanese rice bags that are so much more than mere carriers of grain.

In this workshop, you will become a maestro of the running stitch—unlocking the arcane secrets of Sashiko Stitching. Often underestimated and frequently overlooked, it’s about to have its moment in the spotlight, elevating your fabric creations from the mundane to the marvelously intricate.

Prepare to be enchanted by the five Hitomezashi patterns that will dance across your fabric like whispers in the night. Each pattern is a testament to the interplay of simplicity and complexity, a nod to the balance that Sashiko so artfully embodies. These patterns will converge to create a Komebukuro that is as enchanting as it is practical—a true masterpiece of textile art.

Fear not if your fabric sorcery feels a bit rusty; there will be another gathering in a few weeks to assemble your creations. Until then, keep your needles sharp, your stitches even, and your creative spirit unbridled. Who knew that a simple rice bag could be the canvas for such artistic alchemy?
