SASHIKO (GMC) (PB)

Sashiko (meaning ‘little stabs’) is a traditional Japanese sewing method that uses evenly spaced running stitches to create eye-catching geometric patterns. This book explores the history of this striking technique and demonstrates how to apply it to a range of ornamental items, accessories, and gifts. There are 20 projects choose from including brooches, greetings cards and notebook covers as well as larger-scale items such as bedding, a door curtain and wall-hanging. The various motifs can also be used to create your own designs.
