Japanese Sashiko and Boro Mending

If you have clothes to mend PLEASE BRING THEM to work on! 

Boro or ぼろ is a traditional Japanese style of mending clothes with embroidery and patches. Popular nowadays to visibly repair clothes with holes or tears, or to colorfully decorate fabric. We will also teach a few simple Sashiko 刺し子 embroidery stitches alongside this mending technique.
