Hitomezashi is a popular style of Sashiko to apply our Ordinary Stitching & Fashion. This workshop introduces a standard process of enjoying Hitomezashi. Starting from learning how to prepare the grid on the fabric, how to “create” the Hitomezashi pattern, stitch Hitomezashi & apply it to a favorite Quilt/Garment (stitching on used denim or thin cotton fabric is recommended). The Objective is to learn how creative we can be while appreciating the cultural significance of Sashiko by approaching both visible & invisible mending while maximizing the joy of Hitomezashi. Experience in Sashiko: [Core & Essence] will be a great help to maximize this workshop, but not required. Unlike the other Sashiko class “Core & Essence” Atsushi offers, this workshop does NOT include a strict learning & stitching practice. A participant can use any thread & tools that they want to use. You may purchase a package of materials prepared, but it is not required to participate in this workshop. * Please note this workshop does overlap some of the contents of “Introduction to Japanese Sashiko Stitching” Atsushi offers on Domestika.
