Understanding the Basics of Sashiko
Sashiko is a form of decorative stitching that originated as a practical method of reinforcing and repairing work clothes in rural Japan. Over time, it evolved into an art form, with intricate geometric patterns adorning everything from clothing to household items.
The key to mastering Sashiko lies in the use of a running stitch, repeated rhythmically to create bold and eye-catching designs. Sashiko is typically worked on indigo-dyed cotton fabric, which provides a strong contrast to the white cotton thread.
