Sashiko Workshop: Patchwork Mittens

Seekonk, MA – Winter is coming, and you’re invited to get cozy at the library with a mitten-themed hand sewing workshop on Tuesday, December 3 at 6:00 PM. We’ll learn to do Sashiko, a Japanese method of functional embroidery that is meant to repair or reinforce fabric by applying beautiful but strong stitches to a cloth patch. Then we’ll use that method to upcycle fabric scraps into decorative patchwork mittens. In addition to its appeal as a current fashion trend, Sashiko promotes the tradition of appreciating the inherent value of available materials and making the most of resources in a beautiful and lasting way.

Space is limited; pre-registration is required. Register in the Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org/events.  For more information, call Adult Services at the library at (508) 336-8230 or email library@seekonkpl.org.
