Rebecca Hoffman
One of the hardest thing I found with getting started with Sashiko was understanding the direction in which to sew. That is what I love about this class. She breaks down each pattern and shows you how to do it. I love that you can do variations of the patterns and achieve different looks. I think I'm hooked!

Lisa is such a delightful teacher. I loved that she showed us one of her Japanese craft books with pictures of thing stitched with sashiko.
I have enjoyed stitching my samples so very much.
Lisa explains the process in such an approachable way. Thank you so much!
