The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook

Sashiko means 'little stab' which accurately describes the simple running stitch required for this traditional Japanese technique. Susan Briscoe's book begins by exploring the origins of the technique and concludes with a inspirational gallery of work by contemporary Japanese textile artists. In between, she describes the materials and techniques to get started, details ten projects for beautifully embellished items for the home to practice, and provides an extensive pattern library with step-by-step detail to allow you to explore further.
