Sneak peek / Sashiko in modern style

I am making some items in Japanese zakka style for an event in April. There are some sneak peek photos of my Sashiko in modern style. Sashiko is one of the traditional needle work techniques in Japan. It is old. But it fits in the modern life style because of it's simplicity and good design. That's why I like this embroidery. Sashiko has a huge possibility.





Photos of finished items will be coming soon. Please stay in touch. Have a great week everyone!

  4. Thanks everyone! Yes, that is the point of this pattern. I am happy that you mentioned the polka dot pattern is made look different by adding those simple stitches. It is an optical illusion. You can also see that kind of trick on my "Good use of gingham check tutorial" (look at the picture on the side bar.)

  5. Ooooh, so glad I found your blog this evening! Love your modern take on sashiko! I've done a few pieces of the traditional kind and also added some very simple sashiko to my handmade bags. Love the way you used the stitching on the polka dot fabric!
