Join us for a creative and relaxing morning at the Colour-Me-Local Natural Dye Garden, where nature and art come together.
This visible mending workshop will introduce you to sashiko techniques and style while you enjoy the beauty of the garden’s colours, bird song and natural surroundings. Please bring a garment to work on, and scrap fabric if you wish. The workshop fee includes needle, thread and some scrap fabric.
Local artist 
Yoko Tomita 
will facilitate this workshop.
A message from Yoko:
"Mending has been part of my life for a long time. I have been fixing my clothing for about 35 years. It’s good to refresh old sweaters, pants, skirts, winter hats and more to make them your style. I like to wear comfortable, well-fitting clothes, so I often customize a garment's fit and add personal touches through stitching.
"It’s good to know the basics of how Sashiko developed to prolong the life of Kimono fabric in Japan. I remember my grandmother and my mother used to make kimonos, and they fixed things all the time. I value good-quality textiles such as linen and silk, which can last a lifetime with good care. My mending started from the love of textiles and upcycling clothing to reduce waste."

It is really a once-in-a-lifetime train experience. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was amazing to take a train and experience the colorful mountains. The train company held a grand farewell ceremony before departure for the train at Vancouver Railway Station. This gave me a pleasant surprise. Not only did the train have Chinese service staff to introduce the scenery along the way, but there was also a food experience. Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery of the Rocky Mountains and eating Michelin meals, it really can&#39;t be described in words. The ticket price is indeed not cheap. I was a little hesitant before booking, but after the experience, I felt that the money was worth it. Also, I thought it would be boring on the train before leaving, but I didn&#39;t expect there were still a lot of activities. I couldn&#39;t stop taking pictures, especially the glass dome, which was like watching an IMAX blockbuster. Soon the wonderful day passed. The Queen&#39;s favorite train is indeed well-deserved, making my wife and I feel very noble. . .

This is a landmark in Vancouver. It is free and you can enjoy the magnificent mountain and sea scenery. You can also experience flying across Canada and enjoy a wonderful vacation on the west coast of Canada.
