Overview

Sashiko a form of both decorative and functional needlework developed in Japan many centuries ago.

This book gives you easy but thorough lessons on the ins and outs (literally) of 36 traditional sashiko patterns, plus projects for a few home and personal accessories so you can try them out, including:

  • Pouches
  • Little purses
  • Placemats and napkins
  • Covered brooches and buttons
  • And much more

Step-by-step instructions with detailed color photos show you everything from transferring patterns to perfect stitch technique. The user-friendly templates help you keep your motifs balanced and even, while color combinations ranging from the traditional white and indigo to multicolored threads on primary colored backgrounds will inspire you to get creative with these basic stitches.

With just four key materials--needle, thread, thimble and fabric--Sashiko stitches have long been a favorite in quilting and embroidery. Today, the style is a major player in the visible mending movement because of its simplicity, efficiency and aesthetic appeal. With Simply Sashiko, you can apply these centuries-old techniques to your home, clothing and accessories in a fun, modern way.
