Hitomezashi, which means “one-stitch sashiko” in Japanese, uses the simplest of stitches on a grid to create intricate geometric patterns that reinforce and decorate the fabric. In this class, rather than following a traditional pattern, each participant will choose or generate a short binary code that will guide them through each line of stitches. As it is sewn, the pattern emerges as if by magic, and each student will leave with a highly personalized work of art that blends math, embroidery, and technology.
