Keep calm and stitch on…

Creating meditational squares using boro

Slow stitching can keep us sane. In this session I shall demonstrate using simple sewing techniques and some Japanese principles to create small treasures. A daily 5″ square refines your skills and lowers your stress.

We can stitch together, share the techniques and admire each others work. We can discuss boro and sashiko, big stitches and not panicking.

(And for those who did attend – thank you! – here are the notes I promised to help you continue your journey into boro and meditational stitching…)
