Abstract

Abstract:

Training has become one of the fundamental pillars for developing professional and scientific skills, particularly through training programs that contribute to supporting the educational process and meeting labor market requirements. In this context, the Japanese Sashiko embroidery technique emerges as a traditional method based on repeated hand stitches used to aesthetically and functionally upcycle worn fabrics. This technique serves as an effective means of promoting sustainability by recycling old denim garments to produce clothing accessories.

Despite global and local trends toward enhancing sustainability in the field of clothing and textiles, there remains a notable shortage of scientific and practical resources related to recycling old garments and decorating them using traditional handicrafts such as the Japanese Sashiko technique. This lack limits the ability of students and researchers to integrate these arts into sustainable projects that support environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Accordingly, the researchers proposed a training program aimed at developing the skills of home economics students in utilizing the Sashiko technique to produce sustainable clothing accessories from used denim.

The research aimed to: Design and implement a training program that enables home economics students to learn the Sashiko technique and apply it to produce sustainable clothing accessories using recycled denim. The study also aimed to measure the program’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ knowledge, practical performance skills, and the quality of their final products in alignment with sustainable development concepts.
