"Atsushi, what is the Advanced Sashiko Workshop we can take?"

I have received so many request to offer the follow-up workshop after they learn Sashiko with "Core & Essence" Workshop. Their expectation is that there should be something "Advanced" when they complete the "Core & Essence (Basic)". Unfortunately, there is no such a thing as "Advanced" once they learn the core of Sashiko - Unshin. It is just a matter of learning "How to Apply it" to various projects.

Some understanding my message, and still asked me to offer the follow-up workshop to learn "How I would apply this" to the other Sashiko project. The answer to them is this workshop, "Application & Practice". We will go though what I normally do in our Sashiko project with focusing on 2 things "Applying & Mending" and "Hitomezashi".

"Core & Essence" Workshop is a intensive learning experience where I "teach" you Sashiko in one direction. "Application & Practice" is more like the workshop of "Let's enjoy Sashiko Togehter" with the foundation you received in the Core & Essence.

The themes we will cover is:

Applying & Mending

How to prepare the fabric (Transfer the fabric / pre-stitching).
How to mend the garment with Sashiko techniques.
How to make Boro (What is Boro after all)

Hitomezashi

Practice Sashiko from a different view point.
Learn how to enjoy Hitomezashi Sashiko
