What happens in this class?

It's super clever too! When you've chosen your pattern you'll see how the stitches form a genius little pattern on your fabric.

The class was very good. The technique was easy to learn, and the environment inspirational. The teacher was good, but it would have been better if she had distributed her attention more evenly. She talked with the same few people all evening and, apart from going round once to ask how everyone was doing, she did not make any other connections. Except for this I would recommend the class.

Absolutely loved this workshop! It was my first Obby workshop and I will definitely be back. Brooke is a total character - fun, quirky, chatty, witty. Very helpful, too. I loved the Sashiko embroidery itself - very therapeutic and pretty simple. The venue itself is lovely - bright and airy and full of colour. I 100% recommend this workshop. I will be back. Thanks again! x

Class was fun, the teachers are entertaining and location is very pretty. The only problem is that there was not much theory involved with the Japanese embroidery. I was excited to go to the class and hoped the theory would be included, but there was not much history about the tradition or Japanese practice. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Teachers used prepared kits.
