Hitomezashi Sashiko - Stitching With A Grid

Building on basic skills gained in “Introduction to Sashiko, a Japanese Stitching Practice”, we will explore the Hitomezashi Sashiko style based on single stitches placed on gridded patterns. This workshop introduces the history and development of Hitomezashi, surveys traditional patterns using this style, and applies this stitching practices on pre-printed fabric. Participants will also have the opportunity to design their own Hitomezashi pattern and at least start stitching a coaster or patch. Participants with equivalent Sashiko skills covered in “Introduction to Sashiko, a Japanese Stitching Practice” must purchase the materials kit accompanying that introductory workshop. Participants who have completed in “Introduction to Sashiko, a Japanese Stitching Practice“ need to purchase the add-on supplies specific to Hitomezashi ($15).
