Since this is a “Applied” Workshop, there are several tools required to bring with you. Although the Special Package for this workshop will satisfy most of the needs, please make sure to bring them so that you will not miss anything. Also, please bring from the previous Sashiko Workshop (either Core & Essence, Full-Time, or Online Class):

Sashiko Thimble (Metal Round)
Sashiko Needle (51.5mm)
Chalk Pencil White

*Please bring the exact Needle & Thimble you have received. If you do not have them, Some sets will be available on site. However, it would be very helpful if you can notify me in advance so that I can put the set aside.

Also, please bring:

1 or 2 Crayola Washable Marker (ideally fine top) with Dark Colors. (Sample Link)
A ballpoint pen (cheap one is fine) (Sample Link).
One Cotton Garment (such as denim or shirt) with mending (or stitching) needs. A large hole may be too much to complete within the workshop. A hole of about 2~3 inch diameter would be the ideal for patching. The Garment doesn’t have to have holes. I will explain how to apply Sashiko to mending/repairing. Stretchy fabric including stretch denim and T-shirt are NOT ideal. For the detail of what is best to bring, please check here → (The Article of “What is the suitable fabric for mending & stitching on").

Following is a list that is NOT required yet recommended to bring:

Masking Tape / Scotch Tape / Bandage to protect the nail from scratching by needles.
Thread Clippers (Some Airline may not allow to carry on the Airplane).
Other choice of garments for mending just in case the one you bring is not ideal for the mending in the workshop (I do not want to limit your suitcase space, so one garment is good enough).
The fabric you would like to use for mending (A piece of fabric for mending will be provided, but you can use your favorite one).

As same as the Sashiko: Core & Essence, It may a good idea to cut the nail on the dominant hand (the hand with the needle
