Sashiko with Style
Sashiko, an ancient style of embroidery from Japan is created using a running stitch technique called ‘little stabs’. Learn a little about the history of this fun stitching technique, how to transfer the designs to cloth, do the basic stitch as well as creative ideas for using this technique. Alma warns that Sashiko is an easy stitching technique that is very addictive.
