Re - Thread Design

Join the renewed trend of repairing + upcycling your clothing with Visible Mending, using tradi-tional Japanese techniques and patterns. First recorded in the 16th century, Japanese peasants repaired worn-out clothing using scraps and sashiko stitching to make their garment stronger and more beautiful.

Using thread + needles specifically made for sashiko stitching, most students will patch up one section of their own garment during workshop, others may finish up last stitches at home.

Bring your own jeans or clothing item – holes not required – so you can wear your master-piece. Patterns + directions + instruction provided

Sashiko is a Japanese embroidery practice which uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. This stitching technique has been used for centuries and continues into our current times to mend,  strengthen, insulate, quilt, and embellish garments and home goods for longevity and beauty.
