Sashiko Workshop At Fumi May 3rd

In this workshop, participants will explore the cultural significance of sashiko and its deep ties to sustainability, Mottainai=Do not waste, use everything. While also engaging in a gentle practice of mending—both garments and oneself. Through the act of repairing frayed clothing together, participants are invited to reflect on personal experiences of brokenness and to discover new ways of healing through shared creation.

Participants reclaim slow, intentional moments as they stitch, meditating on vulnerability, resilience, and connection. Each thread carries intention: a way to care for ourselves, our garments, and the stories they hold—preserving rather than replacing. This cloth becomes more than material; it carries history and, through mending, becomes part of a new story.
