Literally meaning “little stabs,” sashiko is a Japanese embroidery technique from the Edo period (1603-1967) as a way to mend worn textiles. Sashiko is now used in the visible-mending movement, especially with white thread on blue denim. It involves a running stitch to make geometric and repeating patterns. This complete kit helps makes it easy.
The relaxing technique is simple but can be confusing at first, so the expert embroiderer behind Wren Bird Arts created the best-selling Sashiko Inspired Mending Kit to simply things by gathering everything you need, easy-to-follow instructions, and iron-on pattern transfers so you can’t fail. Just add fabric and scissors, and stab away.
