About the Sashiko Workshops

Do you want to learn Sashiko stitching and don’t know where to start? This traditional Japanese stitching technique is gaining popularity because it is a delightful mindful slow stitch practice.

I was drawn to Sashiko while I was recovering from exhaustion with caring for my beloved mum and moving through grief after her passing. For me, it has been deeply restorative with the simple action of being present as I stitch something beautiful. It is a healing and nurturing practice.

I’ve been able to take my Sashiko stitching in a convenient pouch to art and craft groups, make and mend afternoons, visits with friends and family and on get-aways. The joy of sharing these projects with friends and family has brought light and joy into my day and I hope to share this with others.

Starting with Printed Sashiko Panels

My entry point with Sashiko has been through printed panel designs. I’m finding them a great entry point into a traditional craft that focuses on mindfulness, creativity and mending.
