by Susan Briscoe
Also see the NEW Ulitmate Sashiko Card Deck!
Globally acclaimed book: The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook features patterns, projects and inspiration all about Sashiko. It is the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting that uses a 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.
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. -
