SUMMARY:Sashiko Hand-Stitching and Pattern-Making
DESCRIPTION:Choose your own stitching adventure! Sashiko is a Japanese mending and embroidery handwork skill that uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. With a focus on exploring the craft\, workshop participants will learn how to create Sashiko patterns from start to finish: layout a grid\, draw patterns with rulers & circles\, use a Sashiko needle\, and use “small stabs” to stitch designs onto their mini-patch samplers.\nSashiko patterns are inspired by nature\, architecture\, and culture. Students will choose from a variety of patterns and motifs that suit their own design aesthetic and comfort level; tiny plus signs\, woven tortoise\, ocean waves\, and seven treasures\, to name a few. All skill levels are welcome\, whether a novice stitcher or an experienced fiber artist! Everyone will work at their own pace.

SUMMARY:Indigo Dyeing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Culture and the environment are the two main topics I address in my textile art. I have been working in textiles for more than forty years as a maker and later as a textile historian. My background in textile history and museum anthropology allows me to bring a deep cultural engagement to everything I produce. I don’t just dye fabric in an indigo blue dyepot\, I look in the dyepot and see world history\, science\, fashion\, medicine\, ritual and your latest pair of jeans! It’s an entire world to explore and share.

SUMMARY:Beginner Nålbinding
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ancient art of nålbinding! This fiber art predates both knitting and crochet\, and is sometimes called “Viking knitting.” In this class\, you will learn a basic nålbinding stitch and make a set of hand warmers. You will need a nålbinding needle\, and a skein of yarn that is anywhere from worsted to bulky – the new Leviathan bulky yarn is especially well-suited to this class. 100% wool is best. Make sure it is not super-wash\, as this will make your yarn difficult to splice.

SUMMARY:Swiss Darning
DESCRIPTION:We will start by reviewing duplicate stitch to use as reinforcement on knitwear. Then we’ll apply what we learned with duplicate stitch to Swiss Darning to fill holes in knitted fabrics. \nSwiss darning is typically used as the least visible technique to repair knits\, if that’s your goal. It can also be used\, along with duplicate stitch\, for fun visible repairs. Both of these techniques are specific to knitwear fabrics and\, unlike traditional darning\, will maintain the natural stretch of the knit. \nYou can bring along your own knitwear to repair if you’d like or a knitwear sample can be provided.

SUMMARY:Swiss Darning
DESCRIPTION:We will start by reviewing duplicate stitch to use as reinforcement on knitwear. Then we’ll apply what we learned with duplicate stitch to Swiss Darning to fill holes in knitted fabrics. \nSwiss darning is typically used as the least visible technique to repair knits\, if that’s your goal. It can also be used\, along with duplicate stitch\, for fun visible repairs. Both of these techniques are specific to knitwear fabrics and\, unlike traditional darning\, will maintain the natural stretch of the knit. \nYou can bring along your own knitwear to repair if you’d like or a knitwear sample can be provided. \nRachel Weigelt is the owner and operator of Frayed Threads Mending in northeast Seattle\, where she offers textile mending and tailoring services. She will walk you through the steps to repair your knitwear with these three darning techniques.
