How to Do Sashiko Embroidery

March 25, 2022 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

Have you ever wanted to try Sashiko stitching?  Learn how with this tutorial from Otherwise Amazing.

Sashiko is a kind of Japanese hand embroidery and it is quite beautiful.  It is used in many different forms.  I have even seen it used for mending garments.

The detailed article goes into the history of this art, as well as how to get started and supplies you need.  It even has some examples of various traditional patterns.

Finally, you will find a tutorial on turning your sashiko into a coaster.  That is a great way to get to know this art form.

If you would like to learn more about Sashiko, find it here: Sashiko Stitching: Japanese Embroidery
