Sashiko

Sashiko is the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, using a simple running stitch to create intricate, beautifully decorative patterns ideal for embroidery, patchwork and quilting. Pronounced ‘Shash-ko’, the translation means stab-stitch, a nod to the small running stitch that forms the foundations of hundreds of distinctive patterns.

Beautiful things for your Sashiko, Kogin, Embroidery and Mending time from Tribe.

The Sashiko stitch creates simple yet stunning Japanese embroidery, a technique that originated in rural north Japan 400 years ago, where clothing and means of keeping warm were needed for the harsh winters.

Traditionally, Sashiko stitching used hemp to produce this clothing when cotton was too expensive for everyday garments. The colour choice was also restricted; an indigo dye was employed as it was easy to obtain, and people also believed that the colour deterred insects – this gave Sashiko embroidery the classic ‘cream-on-blue’ aesthetic we associate with the technique today.

At Tribe, you’ll find everything from Sashiko thread and Sashiko needles to a Sashiko thimble and tons of tools. We stock only the finest quality products from some of our best-loved brands, including Olympus and Clover.

The good news is if you’re wondering how to Sashiko, the technique is great for beginners! It’s relatively easy to learn and produces quick results and stunning creations that will have you hooked on this old-time, meditative technique.
