Sew a Japanese inspired purse in the serenity of the Japanese Garden! This purse is made of navy blure Japanese coton fabric, and is embellished with a simple white sashiko stitch pattern.
Participants will then sew their sashiko fabric into a purse using their own sewing machine.

All other supplies to make the purse will be provided and are included in the class fee.
