Sashiko is a style of stitching originating from Japan that is both decorative and practical.

Sashiko was originally used as a way of reinforcing points of wear on clothes to make them both warmer and more durable.

In this easy-to-follow photography and video course, you'll learn how to creatively add a sashiko-inspired patch to any garment you wish to repair using simple hand stitching of embroidery thread. You can get started with just a garment, needle and embroidery thread.

Barley says, "Sashiko-style stitching is an ideal way to repair and transform denim. Many of us have experienced our favourite jeans wearing out in certain areas while the rest of the item is still in good condition. Pick up a needle and thread and have a go!".

Barley is passionate about reusing and recycling and her step-by-step guidance in this course will make repairing and mending enjoyable.

With 24/7 unlimited access to the course, you'll be able to learn at your own pace.

Fabulous patching

I always wear out my jeans cycling. My denim patches always failed. Not any more & they look beautiful too. Patching this way is very therapeutic. Thank you Barley.
