Saki Iiduka’s project guide connects sashiko embroidery with both practical repair and new handmade pieces. Its 15 projects include mending rips and fraying cuffs, as well as making items such as pouches, a book cover, stoles and a tote bag. Instructions introduce variations on traditional sashiko stitches and show how stitching can serve functional and decorative purposes. The book also frames visible mending as a way to extend the use of items already owned, giving the craft a clear reuse-focused dimension.

Book overview

Let this book show you the pleasure of repairing, reinforcing and making beloved items using sashiko embroidery!

Sashiko for Making and Mending shows you how to use sashiko stitching to mend rips, repair things like fraying cuffs and create original accessories that look fabulous.

With this book, you'll be able to embrace the visible mending movement--the practice of repairing high quality items you already own instead of replacing them with cheaper "fast fashion" alternatives. It also gives you the opportunity to practice the craft, with instructions for 15 handmade items, including:
  • Gorgeous indigo pouches
  • A rustic linen book cover
  • Breezy, multipurpose cotton stoles
  • A simple, elegant tote bag
  • And so much more!

This book teaches many easy variations of the traditional sashiko stitches--highlighting the impact simple, well-executed stitching can have on everything from embellishing napkins to repairing a jacket. Its gorgeous, thoughtful aesthetic and high-functionality makes sashiko the perfect all-purpose embroidery!
