Description

The ancient Japanese concept of Boro, the continual re-use of damaged materials repaired with Sashiko “stab stitches” is one that developed into identification of prestigious families and beautification of fine clothing and linens. This beautiful hand stitching continues to find new beauty and new purpose today. Trudy’s introduction to the cultural background of the technique is fascinating. Registration includes everything you need; a wonderful assortment of fabrics, needles, threads and project ideas.
