Sashiko Tea Towel Workshops
Sat Apr 12 - 1-2:30pm Monster Shop, Seattle, WA
Thu May 8 - 6:30-8pm Monster Shop, Seattle, WA
Sat Aug 2 - 1:30-3:30pm Camp Craftaway, Des Moines, WA
In this hands-on workshop, learn the basics of Japanese sashiko stitching and apply it to embellish a tea towel. You will learn how to work with sashiko needles and thread and sew a running stitch. Sashiko is a Japanese running stitch traditionally used to mend and strengthen textiles and clothing, as well as creating geometric patterns.
Each student will take home a set of sashiko needles, thread, needle threader, and tea towel. Sashiko is an excellent way to slow down and stitch with mindfulness. I find the beauty in its imperfection and its simplicity, flexibility and adaptability to many projects.

Craft-fullness Retreat Nov 7 - 11, 2024
Charleston, South Carolina
I will be teaching at an upcoming creative retreat in Kiawah Island (just outside of Charleston, North Carolina) in November! Craft-fullness Retreat takes place November 7 to 11, 2024 in a beautiful beach house and it will be a long weekend of crafting, gallery visits, yoga, and mindfulness. I find the act of making something with your hands to be so therapeutic and satisfying, and creative self-care has been personally so important to me. I will be teaching sashiko, a traditional Japanese sewing method, and I cannot wait for this wonderful weekend!I'm thrilled to be working with Daisy McClellan again - some of you may remember that her and I collaborated on a couple of clothing lines back in San Francisco for her boutique, gather!
Space is limited to 10 participants, so don't dilly dally :) Sign up here.
