Sashiko Embroidery - 22nd August

Learn the basics of Sashiko embroidery, which means little stabs in Japanese. Create lovely patterns with a running stitch. Join our tutor Helen as she shows you how to get the best Sashiko results, with lots of examples, encouragement and support. Practice your stitching and then trace your chosen design onto cotton to fuse onto your main fabric and then work on your design to create a little brooch cushion. No need to bring anything, needle, thread and all fabrics included.
