Sashiko Hand-Stitching Basics
2026-03-28 12:00 - 16:00 | Becket Arts Center, 7 Brooker Hill Road, Becket, Massachusetts (MA), 01223, United States
Sashiko Hand Stitching Workshop
With Rachel Barclay
All Skill Levels Welcome!
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – MUST REGISTER BY MARCH 21, 2026
Sashiko is a Japanese mending and embroidery handwork skill which uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. The stitching tradition has been used for centuries in Japan, and continues globally, as a contemporary needlework practice to mend, patch, strengthen, quilt, and embellish garments or home goods for longevity and beauty. With focus on exploration of the craft, workshop participants will learn how to handle thread, layout a grid, draw patterns, employ a Sashiko needle, and use “small stabs” to stitch designs onto their mini-patch samplers.
Sashiko patterns are inspired by nature, architecture, and culture. Students will choose from a variety of motifs that suit their design aesthetic and comfort level; tiny plus signs, woven tortoise, ocean waves, and seven treasures to name a few. The stitched squares can later be transformed into purposeful, small goods such as a pocket, pin cushion, patch, sachet, or coaster.
All skill levels are welcome whether a novice stitcher or experienced fiber artist! Everyone will work at their own pace. Bring your good reading glasses! There will be a break halfway through the workshop. Feel free to bring snacks or a lunch and beverage.
