Sashiko : The Untold Story

Sashiko : The Untold Story

Sashiko has become a popular buzzword in the fashion and craft world, often oversimplified in its mainstream adoption. Japanese Sashiko Artisan Atsushi Futatsuya seeks to restore its true essence in Sashiko: The Untold Story. This book offers a rich history and philosophy of Sashiko, exploring its stitches, traditions and proper application.

Sashiko

There is no doubt we saw a huge surge of interest in everything Sashiko last year. The meditative slow stitching and geometric designs make this Japanese embroidery technique a wonderful entry into bold handwork. If you're just trying it for the first time we've almost always got a Sashiko class starting this Wednesday January 15th. If you've already dabbled with Sashiko, you may want to try Carolanne's newer workshop Sashiko Pillowcase. We have a huge range of sashiko thread, needles and samplers in stock as well.
