SILENT WAVE
indigo

Begin your creative journey
Learn how to repair and embellish your textiles
through the art of Sashiko embroidery
Every workshop begins with the search for the right rhythm—teaching you to honor textiles through the traditional art of Sashiko. Whether online or in-person, these sessions focus on the intersection of heritage techniques and modern intentionality. Learn to draft, stitch, and mend with a focus on craftsmanship and the soul of the cloth.

Presented by Sophie Cagniart,
founder of Silent Wave Indigo
With a background in Fashion design and Pattern making from France I chose to express myself through
traditional crafts, using denim and discarded jeans
to create one of a kind, handcrafted pieces.
After experimenting with my choice fabric for years,
I decided to focus my work on using different traditional Japanese techniques
like Sashiko, Sakiori or Shibori.
All these crafts allow me to create different textures and patterns that I combine in minimal designs,
giving the simplest fabrics a rich hand feel
as well as an intricate look.
The Workshops will be hosted on

Suitable for anyone comfortable with hand-stitching, whether you’ve done Sashiko before or have embroidery experience.


Visible Mending
With Sashiko
Bring a garment that needs repair and
learn how to mend it beautifully
using Sashiko stitching.
In this small-group live session, we focus on practical application: how to assess the damage, reinforce fabric properly, transfer a pattern, and stitch with intention so your repair is both strong and visually striking.
This is not a beginner introduction to running stitches. It’s a guided space to apply Sashiko techniques to real-life mending, with direct feedback and hands-on support.
You’ll leave with a repaired piece in progress (or completed), a clearer technical understanding of Sashiko for reinforcement, and the confidence to continue mending on your own.
Small group. Focused guidance. Real skills.
Master eight Moyōzashi Sashiko patterns and
gain the confidence to trace, plan, and
adapt them to your own creations.
Live Workshop:
Moyōzashi Sashiko Patterns
From grids to rhythm. From templates to tradition.
In this live workshop, you will go beyond pre-made patterns. Learn to draft eight classic Moyōzashi designs, understanding the flow and structure of each one.
Together, we will create your own reusable templates, giving you the clarity to approach
any fabric with confidence.
Real skills. Timeless patterns. Handled with intention.
