Sashiko & Boro Mending Workshop ft. YOLOTLI

Join Nicole of YOLOTLI for a hands-on visible mending workshop. Learn about the importance of repairing and reusing textile goods and pick up a new skill to make your life more sustainable. Bring your own worn-out garments or textiles from home and learn how to fix them with sashiko and boro mending techniques. You’ll get an introduction to the history of the Japanese art of sashiko and boro, how to distinguish different styles of sashiko stitching and discuss how to implement this ancient practice into your daily life. Nicole will share her favorite tools and materials and guide you through the basic embroidery techniques throughout the workshop. No basic stitching knowledge is necessary. Every participant will be provided with their own personal sashiko material and tool kit.
