Elegant and timeless, sashiko stitching is remarkably easy to learn and relaxing to do. It dates back to the Edo period in Japan where it was used to mend, reinforce and decorate clothing and household linens. Today we enjoy stitching it in both traditional and contemporary styles.
We have hand dyed wool for applique, which is amazing used with Sylvia Pippen's sashiko patterns, and a linen/cotton blend fabric in a blue that brings Alderspring Design's more traditional sashiko designs to life!
Last year, we added bag making supplies, handles, embellishments, clasps, hooks, feet and of course, patterns... If you love making bags, you'll love these pages as we add to them.
New this year, is our kids section for your young sewing buddies!
