Program Description

Event Details

Learn to mend worn-out jeans with the beautiful art of Sashiko embroidery! This Japanese fiber art uses simple running stitches to strengthen fraying fabrics and turn old clothing into unique new looks. Unique geometric patterns make Sashiko not only eco-friendly, but fashionable too-- making it perfect for an upcycled Earth Day project! 

This program will be taught by special guest Katie Asher, owner of Slip Vintage and fashion-savvy member of the Traverse City community! 

To participate, just bring old jeans or other denim items. We'll provide all other materials.
