About
**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.**
A quick internet search on sashiko will show you dozens of patterns with half- and full-circle patterns. They look so simple … until you start to stitch them … then things tend to go a bit wonky. Journey with us as we tackle the basics of circular patterns with two of the most iconic half-circles out there, Blue Waves and Blowing Grasses. Once you understand how to draw them and the order of operations, you’ll find yourself stitching these on everything with ease.
Prerequisite: Sashiko Essentials or equivalent.
Supplies needed: ring thimble with plate, Sashiko needle, 12-weight or Sashiko thread, 8” x 8” fabric swatch, marking pen suitable for the swatch, thread snips, graph paper, pencil, ruler. Optional kits and supplies are available to purchase at: shibaguyz.com. Order by August 13th to be sure your supplies arrive on time!
