Description

Enjoy this wonderful introduction to slow stitching which draws inspiration from the Japanese boro and Indian kantha techniques. Working with a basic running stitch, we’ll explore the use of different fabrics, colors and pattern. Create a fabric collage to display or use the techniques to embellish jeans or other clothing. This a wonderful way to upcycle used clothing and linens. A selection of fabrics will be available as well as needles and a selection of embroidery thread. Please bring a pair of scissors and a bag for transporting items. No experience necessary and beginners are welcome!
