Welcome to SASHIKO.LAB!

Hi! Welcome to SASHIKO.LAB. If you are interested in learning sashiko but don’t know where to start, you found the right place! This is a lab where I share the ideas and knowledges about sashiko.

SASHIKO.LAB is based in Kyoto, Japan and started English sashiko lessons in Kyoto in 2019. Before the covid, the workshop participants were limited to those who were actually visiting Kyoto. But since I started to teach online in 2020, now everyone can join the lessons from all over the world.

In the past year, almost 500 people from over 30 countries have joined the lessons and enjoyed stitching sashiko during their hard time in lockdown.

Lots of people say that stitching sashiko is relaxing, even meditating (and addictive!). It doesn’t require lots of tools. Just prepare a needle, thread and a piece of fabric, then you’re ready to start exploring sashiko with me!
