Originally employed as a form of darning to mend clothes, it is now a popular form of decorative embroidery and visible mending. With its clean, minimalist look, sashiko is perfect for modern interiors; it is also a great way of using up spare textiles and extending the life of old clothing.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe twenty appealing projects show how to apply this technique to a wide range of useful and attractive items. A comprehensive introductory section covers all the tools, materials and basic techniques you will need, so even a complete beginner can make a beautiful and unique piece.
