Each week, you will learn a new sashiko-inspired stitch, a Japanese embroidery technique where the stitches are based on combinations of running stitches and threaded running stitches, placed on a grid. Class dates: Thursdays July 18 – September 26, 12:00 – 1:00 pm Central Time. Your registration for this class includes access to pre-recorded lessons, so if you need to miss any class, you can catch up with the recording on your own schedule. Your class fee includes a pre-printed panel with six woodland creature blocks. Each includes grid patterns and/or placement markings to help with your stitches. The animals include a rabbit, duck, fox, hedgehog, toad, and squirrel printed in navy blue. These were designed by Becka and printed on 100% cotton fabric from Spoonflower.
