sashiko VISIBLE MENDING

Level:  Beginner to advanced
Duration:  30 minutes to 2 hours

Experience in person with a take home kit with self-led video guides.

Sustainable fashion is whatever you wish is to be.  We guide you to a more sophisticated and meaningful visible mending experience.  We use Sashiko, Japanese stitching technique to guide you to celebrate the repairs on your garments. 

Sashiko circles resonate with the skimming stone ripples and can be clustered or scattered across your piece.   

Creative
Leading with creative freedom and expression, blended with effortless simplicity in the Sashiko designs.  Using a monochrome palette, with a splash of muted gold. And Liberty London fabric circles, over laid to create texture.

INTENTION:  Responsible Fashion Inspires Personal Creative Expression

MINDFUL CALM
Sashiko is a liberating sewing experience.  Sashiko challenges inner perfectionism in a beautiful gentle way.  Re-imagining damage, embracing letting go of being formal and organised.  Embracing imperfection through the safe space of personal creativity.

YOUR GARMENT REPAIRED
Bring an unloved, damaged garment to stitch, relove and revive.  Lightweight fabrics are easier to stitch.

HERITAGE
Our foundation is original traditional Japanese style of stitching Sashiko, freeing without formality.  Blending with English embroidery materials, palette and techniques to simplify the experience for beginners.  

KIT
You will receive a beautifully packaged personal sewing tool kit as you begin your calming sewing journey.  All the materials for the sewing projects thoughtfully prepared for you to make the stitching moment lovely and relaxing. And a take home kit to continue your creative journey.

EVENT
We come to you at your hotel, event space, in store, workplace  – for an immersive experience as you learn to hand sew, and create beautiful pieces.  We can organize the full event for groups in London, as you wish.

GUIDANCE
We provide guided stitching techniques, tools and materials in each kit, the fabric patches and Sashiko circles, making it easy to layer onto the garments. In person and video guidance with take home kits.

The Approach
The client brings a garment to repair, a t-shirt, sweatshirt or light denim garment.  We are led by the damage on the garment in creating the design, which is freeing, calming and can achieve beautiful results with ease.
