Sashiko Guideline For Beginners: Create Beautiful Pattern With Sashiko Art - Paperback
Description
by Derek Vanbooven (Author)
Sashiko is a form of Japanese folk embroidery using a variation of a running stitch to create a patterned background. Traditionally made in geometric patterns with white cotton thread on indigo blue fabric, the designs include straight or curved lines of stitching arranged in a repeating pattern that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Requiring few materials, Sashiko projects can go anywhere and have saved the sanity of many a soccer mom, public transportation commuter and world traveler. And it's nice to have a project at home that you can pick up and put away at a moment's notice. Catch your meditative moments when you can!
