Workshops Sashiko & Boro boro embroidery

I love to share my knowledge and experience!

In a workshop, you'll learn to master the art of SASHIKO and BORO BORO – two ancient Japanese embroidery techniques traditionally employed for mending and reinforcing garments.

The embroidery process itself is quite simple, making it accessible to everyone, even those without prior embroidery experience!

Using BORO BORO and SASHIKO adds a distinctive touch to your clothing, ensuring it remains a source of joy for years to come.
My focus is primarily on embroidering denim. Considering the substantial water usage (about 7000 to 8000 liters) in producing a single pair of jeans, it becomes crucial to give denim a second life!

Feel free to bring your own denim jeans or jacket to the workshop – whether for repair or a stylish upgrade. This not only breathes new life into your clothing but also makes it trendy, unique, and undeniably eye-catching!

Note that BORO BORO and SASHIKO may not be suitable for denim with high elastane content.
