<DIV>Bring your favorite old clothing in soft denim, cotton or linen. Futatsuya will teach you basic techniques to mend and upcycle it. The workshop comes with patches of vintage fabrics from Japan, sashiko needles, a sashiko thimble, a skein of sashiko thread.  You do not need to bring any tools, but you are welcome to bring you own sewing tools. We highly recommend to bring soft cotton fabric or worn-out denim. It is difficult to work with thick, hard cotton and linen, or brand-new denim. Please do not bring wool or silk fabric. </DIV>
