Boro is more than repair—it’s a meditative, hands-on practice rooted in Japanese textile traditions that transforms worn fabrics into layered works of beauty and resilience. Born from necessity, these stitches carry stories of resourcefulness and renewal that invite you to slow down and see fabric differently.
In this hand stitching class, you’ll learn the foundational sashiko techniques used to strengthen and embellish fabric, along with how to layer scraps for both durability and design. Whether you’re mending a beloved garment or building a new piece inspired by Boro, you’ll develop skills to create textiles that celebrate imperfection and honor the history behind every stitch.
What You’ll Learn:
The history and cultural significance of Boro—and related global traditions
Sashiko stitching techniques for visible mending and decoration
How to layer fabric scraps thoughtfully for strength and beauty
Design guidance for making your own Boro-inspired projects
Please bring in a canvas or cloth bag that needs repair. Bring your curiosity and love for textiles that tell stories.
