About this product
Product Information
Sashiko, the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, uses simple running stitch to create beautifully decorative patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting and embroidery. Sashiko (pronounced shash-ko) means 'stab stitch' and refers to the small running stitch that is worked to build up distinctive decorative patterns, of which there are hundreds. The book begins by exploring the origins of the technique to strengthen clothes and to make them warmer. Getting Started describes everything you need to begin stitching, including selecting suitable fabrics and threads, marking out patterns on the fabric, as well as the stitching technique itself. Ten project chapters show how easy it is to use sashiko patterns to make beautiful items for the home. The sashiko patterns are described in step-by-step detail in the pattern library, showing you exactly how to achieve each individual pattern with ease. Finally a gallery of work by contemporary Japanese textile artists provides extra inspiration.Product Identifiers

If you only buy one book on Sashiko make it this one you will be delighted
Sashiko and Boro are a new sewing experience to me, I have purchased 3 books and this one outshines them all, if I had bought this first ,I wouldn't have bought the other 2. It has everything you need to know about this beautiful Japanese craft, it covers everything from the things you need to create an authentic piece, how to achieve this, the history of the craft and all the amazing traditional patterns used in its comprehensive pattern library, easy projects to get started on, where to source your thread, needles and other things to make your experience super enjoyable, working the simple patterns is relaxing and they look beautiful. If you only buy one book on Sashiko make it this one you will be delighted with it and it will be your go too work book, EnjoyVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Hardly “Ultimate”
There are lots of beautiful patterns in this book but I’d hardly call it ultimate. The history is interesting but I didn’t find it helped me learn the patterns and there was more of it than I needed to know. The explanations of the patterns were a bit superficial and not very clear. An interesting insight into a very accomplished craftswomen but overall a bit disappointing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
