Join Jun from Sashiko Adelaide to learn HITOME-ZASHI, a beautiful form of Sashiko stitching. This technique follows a grid guideline with vertical, horizontal and diagonal stitches that gradually reveal intricate geometric patterns.

In this workshop you can choose from two HITOME-ZASHI patterns.

• KAKI-NO-HANA - which means persimmon flower. This pattern is one of the most popular HITOME-ZASHI patterns.

• KOME-ZASHI - this simple pattern resembles the Japanese kanji for kome (米), meaning “rice. It is the very basic HITOMEZASHI pattern.

In this workshop you will learn:

• The basic method of HITOME-ZASHI stitching.

• How to stitch the KAKI-NO-HANA or KOME-ZASHI pattern

This adult workshop is suitable for all skills levels including beginners.
