SUMMARY:Restoration London Sashiko and Boro Stich Mending Workshop
LOCATION:Big Penny Social\, E17 6AL
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn the traditional Japanese mending embroidery method of Sashiko and Boro stitching to fix and revive your damaged or old clothing.\n\nSashiko means "little stabs" in Japanese or "little pierce" and is a form of decorative reinforcement stitching that started out of practical need during the Edo era (1615-1868) in Japan. Traditionally used to reinforce points of wear or to repair worn places or tears with patches\, making the piece ultimately stronger and warmer.\n\nWorn out clothes were pieced together to make new garments by using simple running stitches. These clothes increased their strength with this durable embroidery.\n\nBoro is very close to Sashiko\, both use white thread on indigo and both are mending techniques but boro meaning “rags” or “tattered cloth\,” refers to textiles that have been patched many times\, so giving a far less structured effect. This sturdy method makes both Boro and Sashiko perfect for mending denim.
