Sashiko is that wonderful Japanese form of embriodery that serves many purposes - repairing, quilting, reinforcing and embellishing everything from a table napkin to your  most elegant jacket. Function as well as form. And satisfying to stitch as well as lovely to look at.

This book shows you how to use sashiko stitching to mend holes, repair fraying cuffs and collars (and make them gorgeous!) and gives you the opportunity to practice the craft, with instructions for 15 cool and practical handmade items such as pouches, a book cover, stoles, a tote bag and other sashiko embellished accessories that will last.
