How to Sew 
Sashiko

Sashiko, the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, uses simple running stitch to create beautifully decorative patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting and embroidery. This little book describes everything you need to begin stitching, including selecting suitable fabrics and threads, marking out patterns on the fabric, as well as the stitching technique itself. Get started with the Simple Pattern Pictures project, a small sample practice which can be turned into a pretty gift when framed, and then progress to stitching bags, gift cards, and anything else your heart desires!
