Sashiko is a striking hand-embroidery technique that originated in ancient Japan, characterized by impactful geometric shaping traditionally done on indigo dyed fabrics using variations of a basic running stitch. In Japanese, its name means “little stabs”—a reference to the plain running stitch that makes up sashiko's geometric, all-over patterns. This ancient technique merges art and function and is seeing a resurgence in our current climate of mindful consumption, because of its applications in slow fasion and mindful mending. Learn the materials, the basics and learn how to execute the patterns and create a wall art sampler of your own.
