The ultimate Sashiko sourcebook by Susan Briscoe

****

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese type of embroidery, initially used to reinforce cloth. Being no expert on Sashiko I can hardly comment on how “ultimate” this is. However it is well set out and contains everything you need to make a start. The projects are a bit uninspiring, but then I’m used to a more modern approach. This stuff seems destined for cushions and picture busywork, not really very practical or beautiful. I’m not a fan of making stuff for the sake of it!
