Sashiko With Suzanne Strachan

What is Sashiko?

Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery or stitching used for the decorative and/or functional reinforcement of cloth and clothing. Owing to the relatively cheap nature of white cotton thread and the abundant nature of cheap, indigo-dyed blue cloth in historical Japan, sashiko has a distinctive appearance of white-on-blue embroidery, though some decorative pieces may also use red thread. It utilises a simple running stitch to create patterns.

Suzanne creates a relaxed atmosphere into which you can simply sink and enjoy. No prior experience is needed.

What’s included?

All materials required, including fabric cuts, sashiko threads & needles and usage of sashiko stencils and fabric markers.  There is a small charge of £5 per person for these supplies. Teas, coffees and a biscuit too.
