'Reinterpret Your Clothes: Mending and Sashiko (Japanese Embroidery Workshop)'
1 October 2026 – 26 November 2026 · 17:00
Centre Cultural La Casa Elizalde, la Dreta de l'Eixample, Eixample
Teacher: Áurea López. As awareness grows of the negative impact of fast fashion and clothing waste, repairing garments with creative sewing techniques and giving them another life is becoming popular again: this is mending. We will explore two techniques: patchwork, through which we will learn to hand-sew different American blocks in the Amish style, and sashiko, a Japanese embroidery technique for renewing our clothes with a distinctive touch through delicate geometric motifs. Participants are responsible for providing the materials.
