Shannon & Jason Roudhán Bowlsby
Shannon & Jason
We will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a set of three evolving stitch patterns each invaluable for surface design, visible mending and embellishing garments, home décor, quilts, your favorite canvas high-tops, and anything else made of fabric that you can pierce with a sashiko needle. Learn the basics of Hitomezashi sashiko - one-stitch sashiko. We will give you everything you need to start on your sashiko journey, from drawing a grid, handling the needle and fabric, reading sashiko patterns, working in directions, tension, and tips for making clean lines. We will also show you how to adapt sashiko patterns to use as hand quilting templates.
