Originally employed as a form of darning to mend clothes, it is now a popular form of decorative embroidery. 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.   The 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. Learning the simple art of traditional Japanese stitching has never been so easy nor so useful.   Projects Include: tea towel, cushion cover, table mats, covered buttons, stylish knot bag and a furoshiki wrapper (an eco-friendly alternative to gift wrap). \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420647698805,"sku":"9781784947231","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781784947231.jpg?v=1764613429","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781784947231","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
