Sold Out?: Yes
Required Supplies: - Kit purchased from the web address provided.
- (3) silicone needle pullers to fit on your thumb, pointer finger and middle finger: visit the additional website address to see a photo. These are not rubber thimbles. Available in Diana’s Etsy shop at www.banjoflannel.etsy.com
- Sewing thread in blue or green: this will be used to hand baste our patchwork and a contrasting thread will be easier to see.
- Scissors or snips: Remember that TSA allows scissors with a blade length of 4” or less in your carry-on! - shared scissors will also be provided.
- Seam Ripper
- Lots of straight pins with a ball end: Pins with a flat head tend to catch the thread more than ball heads as we’re hand basting.
- Fabric marking pen or pencil: Please visit the additional website address to see an example of the color palette the workshop will be using in class. You will want to bring a marking pen or pencil color that you can see well.
- Clear ruler approximately 9-12” in length and no more than 2” wide: A large ruler is not needed for this class.
Optional Supplies: - Clover Embroidery Needle Threader: If you think you may have difficulty threading the needle, this item will help you. It is different from a regular needle threader due to the orientation of the threading head. Available in my Etsy shop at www.banjoflannel.etsy.com
- Needle for hand basting: You can use the needles Diana provides for handstitching for this purpose, but if you have a specific preference Diana suggests you bring it with you. The needles you will be given are crewel needles.
Learn how to transform your scraps into a beautiful new textile! Diana’s Patchwork Sashiko Method is a unique mash-up of different slow stitching and patchwork techniques. Students will start with a stack of scraps and create a pliable piece of unique patchwork fabric with which to do whatever you want! Once students learn this method, they can then use their own fabric scraps in any size and shape they like. It’s great for visible mending, using in a favorite bag pattern, or as a unique feature in a quilt.
