This workshop teaches how to transform denim waste into a unique, raw denim patchwork design, stitched together using a simple sashiko stitch.

You'll create a patchwork piece to add to a garment like a pair of jeans or a jacket.

To start, you'll practice the Sashiko stitch with guidance.

Then, pick fabrics, like denim, canvas, corduroy, linen, and cotton twill, to form a color palette.

Add special fabric pieces from your own stash for extra flair.

Finally, build and attach the patchwork by hand, completing your design. You'll leave with your patchwork and a sashiko needle and thread for future projects.

The session is supposed to be a follow-on workshop from our casual mindful mending club. Allowing you to create a new piece of circular textile art and add it to a garment of your choosing or even just frame it as a piece of textile art. It's a great opportunity to create something rather than simply repairing. you will learn to reimagine textile waste, and you will be able to take these skills to other materials in your home, the possibilities are endless.
