Basic Boro - Creative Sashiko Stitching with Scraps

Located in downtown Alameda, the Kimonomomo Studio is a little piece of Japan in an old Victorian home.Carol Ziogas, owner of Kimonomomo LLC and theardentthread.com, has been working with kimono and Japanese textiles for over a decade and would love to share with you the Zen of Sashiko, put Play into Applique, and help you find your creative spark.

Wondering what to do with all the little bits in your fabric stash? This is the class for you. 
Sashiko originated as a way to patch scraps of cotton fabric together. If you find modern sashiko too precise or intimidating, this will ease you into an older style while you learn the history behind it. Try your hand at this meditative stitch technique and have fun piecing together your own original work. Vintage boro (Japanese scrap quilts) and photo books on the subject will be available for reference.
Straight stitches only this time, we'll do the fancy stuff in other classes. This one is about learning to handle the needle, thread, thimble, and fabric. We will have plenty of fabric on hand to experiment with.
If you would rather pay by cash or check at the class, email Carol to reserve your seat.
Please bring scissors, pen/pencil and paper to take notes, and a snack (if you need it). Everything else will be provided.
Fabrics will be from our shop's overflowing remnant and scrap bin. Preview our fabrics here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/kimonomomo
