All embroidery classes are taught by the talented artist Michelle Workowski of Viola.

Sashiko is a form of embroidery, using a running stitch, and is literally translated to 'little stabs'. It is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery or stitching used for the decorative and/or functional reinforcement of cloth and clothing. Owing to the relatively cheap nature of white cotton thread and the abundance of cheap, indigo-dyed blue cloth in historical Japan, Sashiko has a distinctive appearance of white-on-blue embroidery. You're going to love the exposed stitching and use of various patches to play with pattern and shades of indigo. Once you add Sashiko to your garment, you'll be hooked. Not a single pair of ripped jeans will be safe.
