Begin your creative journey

Learn how to repair and embellish your textiles

through the art of Sashiko embroidery

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.
