Discover the beautiful art of decorative stitching in this hands-on workshop inspired by the Japanese tradition of sashiko! Known for its simple running stitches and intricate repeating patterns, sashiko transforms everyday materials into something both functional and beautiful. For this project, we're bringing that timeless aesthetic somewhere unexpected: the cover of a notebook.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn about the history and inspiration behind sashiko patterns before creating your own stitchable design. Using a paper-piercing technique, you'll create a guided path for your needle and thread, then bring your pattern to life with simple stitches. Experiment with geometric designs, explore the rhythm of repeating patterns, and turn an ordinary notebook into a personalized piece of functional art.

Why You’ll Love This Workshop:

• Slow Down & Stitch – Enjoy the relaxing, rhythmic process of creating patterns one stitch at a time.

• Explore a New Technique – Combine paper piercing and decorative stitching inspired by traditional Japanese sashiko designs.

• Make It Your Own – Experiment to create a notebook that reflects your personal style.
