Join us for an online workshop with artist Sandra Johnson. Hand stitching is a wonderful, meditative practice, and Sandra is a master. Her work is amazing and her optimism and spirit are infectious. This workshop is guaranteed to be packed with fun!

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embellishment using a running stitch of heavy white cotton on indigo fabric. During this live, online workshop you will discover the beauty and artistry of sashiko hand stitching.

We will supply you with a stencil, marking pencil, fabric, thread and needles, so you'll be ready to dive in and start stitching.
