A single running stitch is used to create lovely geometric patterns that can be used to decorate fabric or reinforce ripped denim\, sewn by hand. You will learn how to properly execute this running stitch\, and transfer geometric designs onto indigo-dyed linen. Our instructor will guide you in the creation of your own sashiko design sampler. Once everyone has the technique down\, you will learn how to apply this sashiko technique to your ripped jeans in order to repair and reinforce areas where the denim has torn or frayed. \n\n\n\nSupplies Needed: None! All fabric\, thread\, and sashiko needles are provided for you to keep.

Lastly\, you will learn to rinse and dry out your prints\, so they are complete and ready to show! You will leave with at least 6-8 prints\, including fabric pieces and artist print paper\, as well as instructions and know-how to re-create this process at home. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: For evening classes\, we’ll be using UV lamps rather than the sun to expose your prints.
