SUMMARY:STUDIO 24: Visible Mending with Sashiko Stitching
DESCRIPTION:As a way to reduce waste and/or personalize clothing and 
 household goods - we'll learn & practice together one method of visible 
 mending: Sashiko Stitching.\n\nPlease bring something that’s worn\, 
 torn\, or otherwise in need of repair. Best to bring non-stretchy fabric 
 – denim\, cotton\, linen fabrics are easiest to repair.\n\nSashiko 
 ("little stabs") is a Japanese textile tradition with roots in the 17th 
 century. Working class folks were permitted only to use simple materials in 
 their clothing: indigo for dye and hemp for fabric (no silk\, no bright 
 colors). Sashiko stitching provided both repairs and beauty to old rags and 
 worn clothing. The simple\, repetitive stitches are said to resemble grains 
 of rice and provide both renewed strength and decoration to worn and torn 
 cloth.\n\nIn this workshop - we'll recognize the deep history of Sashiko\, 
 select our favorite traditional (or modern!) Sashiko patterns\, learn how 
 to mark and patch our fabric\, practice getting evenly sized and spaced 
 stitches\, and work towards mending a favorite worn or torn item of 
 clothing that participants bring with them. We'll reinforce knees and 
 elbows\, add beauty and patches to collars and hems\, and enjoy the slow 
 and meditative stitching that is Sashiko.\n\n\nDIY Studio\n\nBoulder Public 
 Library presents DIY Studio in STUDIO 24! Over the course of four months\, 
 this program series invites makers to increase their own agency. DIY Studio 
 equips makers with the hands-on skills and confidence needed to tackle
