Create Stunning Table Décor from Vintage Japanese Obi

Discover the art of transforming exquisite vintage Japanese obi—beautiful silk sashes traditionally worn with kimonos—into elegant table mats and a table runner.

In this hands-on class, you will:

• Learn techniques to cut, line, and stitch obi fabric into unique table décor.
• Explore design ideas to highlight the rich textures and patterns of these traditional textiles.
• Craft pieces that become true conversation starters for your dining space.
  
  

Please bring:

• 2 vintage obi’s (or several) of your choice—second-hand options are widely available and very affordable.
• A sewing machine (alternatively, you can sew by hand)
• Scissors / Rotary cutter
• Marking pencil / chalk
• Cutting board
• Pins
• Tassels: can be easily purchased on Amazon depending on the style and colors of your Obi

Whether you’re an experienced sewist or just beginning, this workshop offers a wonderful way to celebrate Japanese heritage while creating functional art for your home.
