Sashiko 101: Visible Mending Techniques with Rhiannon Platt

In recent years, Sashiko-style mending has made a comeback after originally being created during the Edo period of Japan to lengthen the life of kimonos.

Now, people are using it to give their favorite jeans or shirts a little more wear. This class will teach students the basics of this classic repair technique by perfecting our skills through patching a hole in a piece of scrap fabric. Students can then take this sampler of the technique home to use as a reference later when fixing their favorite clothes.
