    The Crafty Adult: Introducing Sashiko

    Literally translated, sashiko means “little stabs.” Pretty metal, and yet this functional embroidery represents a delicate, beautiful addition to any garment. Utilized to reinforce as well as repair garments with decorative stitching, the first writings on the subject were from Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai’s book New Forms for Design. Those 1824 designs still inspire many sashiko patterns today, and you’ll learn even more from fiber artist Juliann Krute at this month’s Crafty Adult class. All supplies provided, so all you need to bring is a mind ready to learn – and maybe a thimble. Can never be too careful with those fingertips! – James Scott

    Bike Month

    I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott
