Turn to an ancient Japanese needlework technique to update your home in a striking and minimalist way-from the author of The Ultimate Sashiko Source Book. The traditional Japanese embroidery technique, Sashiko, is currently a major sewing trend in craft, interior design, and fashion. The big stitches are used to create stunning, geometric patterns and texture to make homewares with a stylish, Japanese minimalist look. This collection of eight simple Sashiko patterns allows you try the technique yourself-projects include a tote bag, greetings cards, cushion, tablemats, coaster, pocket hanging, a long sampler and Ranru hanging. Susan Briscoe is a leading expert in this traditional Japanese sewing technique, having first been, introduced to Sashiko in the early 1990s, while teaching English in northern Japan
