Turn to an ancient Japanese needlework technique to update your home in a striking and minimalist way—from the author of The Ultimate Sashiko Source Book.

The traditional Japanese embroidery technique, sashiko, is currently a major sewing trend in craft, interior design, and fashion. The big stitches are used to create stunning, geometric patterns and texture to make homewares with a stylish, Japanese minimalist look.

This collection of eight simple sashiko patterns allows you try the technique yourself—projects include a tote bag, greetings cards, cushion, table mats, coaster, pocket hanging, a long sampler and Ranru hanging.

Susan Briscoe is a leading expert in this traditional Japanese sewing technique, having first been introduced to sashiko in the early 1990s while teaching English in northern Japan.

“This book, like the craft that it takes as its focus, is minimalist and small … But I think that the simplicity of this collection really allows the individual pieces to shine … The photography is stunning, placing modern design against white walls with bits of Japanese art and decor sprinkled in. ” —Right Sides Together
