Sashiko Stitching: Mending with Beauty

Sashiko (Japanese for ‘little stabs’) is a form of decorative stitching used to reinforce points of wear or to repair worn places with patches.

Well loved garments get a second life and a more sustainable alternative to tossing out. In this 2-hour class, Dawn, The Stitching Coach will guide you in the process. All supplies will be provided.

This program is designed for adults and teens ages 13+. The instructor advises that this program is not suitable for children under 13 because it involves sharp needles, a longer class format, and multi-step precision work.

This workshop is part of the Danbury Library’s Sustainable Living Initiative, showing how creative upcycling can be both fun and eco-friendly. Learn the techniques at the library, and take them with you to practice sustainable living for life.
