Sashiko Mending Workshop
Sunday, 18 January 2026
10:00 – 13:00
10:00 – 13:00
Join Repair PDX Jan 18th 10-1pm to learn traditional Japanese Sashiko embroidered mending! Sashiko is a geometric embroidery technique which stabilizes and reinforces mends in fabric while adding beautiful embellishment.
In this small hands-on workshop at Leaven Community Center, our lovely instructor Angela will walk you through creating and adding a sashiko patch to an item of clothing or fabric with a tear or hole. She will talk about the history of Sashiko, what ways it is used today, and which mending situations are most suited to Sashiko use. You will choose the sashiko pattern stencil you wish to use and will go home with a skein of thread and a needle (and fabric if desired) to finish your project with and/or start others at home!
Date/Time: Jan 18, 2026 10-1pm
Location: Leaven Community Center, 5431 Northeast 20th Avenue
