Sashiko Charm Square Jewel Shaped Bag
Sashiko Charm Square Jewel Shaped Bag
This stitch-along workshop centres on extended sashiko practice through the making of a patchwork bag. Participants work through a series of stitched squares, exploring pattern selection, repetition, and rhythm, before assembling the pieces into a functional textile object.
The workshop is structured to support those already familiar with sashiko. Participants may choose to stitch all panels in sashiko, or combine stitched squares with other fabrics, allowing the project to reflect individual pacing, interest, and capacity.
