Sashiko Embroidery

Sashiko Embroidery

 

Sashiko: the needlework form of both decorative and functional embroidery developed in Japan many centuries ago.

With just four key materials needed—needle, thread, thimble, and fabric—Sashiko stitches have long been a favorite for quilting and embroidery. Today, the style is popular in the visible mending movement because of its simplicity, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
