Sashiko Embroidery

About

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. photo courtesy of Amirisu
