Loving Your Denim with Sashiko and Embroidery

Sashiko is a running stitch used traditionally for mending and quilting in Japan. At its most elevated, it is a fine art form, but its humble roots come from country folk mending their indigo-dyed garments. In this fun, relaxing workshop with Suzanne Northcott, you will learn simple stitches, including sashiko, and mending techniques. Bring your jeans or other textile item to mend or embellish, and scissors and a bit of fabric that inspires you or use some of the pieces supplied. Based in Langley, Suzanne is an interdisciplinary artist whose explorations have crossed into the worlds of poetry, video, photography, and textile. Suzanne owns and operates Morph:ology studio in Fort Langley, focusing on fighting fast fashion by creating unique designs out of recycled and repurposed materials.
