Sashiko Stitch Club 

My yearly Sashiko Stitch Club has been so popular, I've decided to continue AND expand it!

Just like the Clubs in 2021 and 2022, each month a new sashiko embroidery pattern will be released with an accompanying video tutorial and downloadable instructions on how to draw it from scratch, and how to stitch. But now, you can subscribe for as many months as you'd like, with no need to limit yourself to just one year!

In addition to getting your new stitching pattern every month, the Sashiko Stitch Club Subscription also grants you access to Sashiko for Beginners, Sashiko Masterclass, and special members-only discounts to Zen Stitching events (valued at over $598).

Our Stitch Club focuses on the popular moyozashi and hitomezashi patterns and other recognizable sashiko designs. These stitches can be applied to mending and embellishing textiles.

The act of stitching has so many therapeutic benefits from mindfulness to stress relief, and this Club offers the opportunity to meet people from around the world.

What my students are saying...

 

Lana Perrotti


"I'm loving the sashiko stitching class. They provide time to be reflective and I'm loving the process and beautiful design motifs - they're so simple to create - once you know how!

I love creating repetitive designs - they are mindful, and engaging."

Robin West


"You are an inspiration. This activity makes time stop and my chronic pain goes unnoticed. It is a meditation and I am so happy I found you.

As soon as my hand touches the cloth and I start stitching, I am taken to a place of stillness and the pain is forgotten. "

Alice Paradis


"You are the best teacher that I have ever had. 

I am in my 70’s so, that covers many teachers!

Thank you for all that you do especially getting us through Covid."

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm a textile artist who loves travelling and the esoteric.


Kate Ward (BFA, MA and MFA) studied Textiles, Printmaking, Paper making, and Ceramics in Australia, and participated in an exchange with the Kyoto Seika University.  She combines her love of art and travel and has had the opportunity to study in Japan, Italy, England and Canada.

Throughout her journey as artist and educator, Kate continues to return to her textile roots making functional sewn and hand-stitched garments and objects for exhibition, seeing this work as ‘comfort food’ for the soul.

With a focus on sustainability and zero waste living, Kate embraces stitching as an act of mindfulness, self-care, resilience, and environmental awareness.
