Flatbush Craft Circle: Sashiko Basics

Join Flatbush Library's craft circle for a chance to unwind, chat with neighbors and get crafty! We meet two Tuesdays a month to try out a new technique or project together. All levels are welcome, from beginner to expert. Come learn something new and enjoy the company of fellow crafters. We’ll also have a selection of craft and art books available for you to check out and take home. 

This session will focus on the basics of Sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery technique. Sashiko stitching is a beautiful way to mend clothes and create custom designed textiles. Sashiko ("little stabs") embroidery is easy to master and can be very meditative. Each participant will choose a simple pattern and complete their own piece of Sashiko embroidery that can be turned into a patch for mending clothes.
