The Japanese word Sashiko means "little stabs" or "little pierce". Humble beginnings led to creating home necessities by devising a simple stitch to quilt several layers of loosely woven fabric for strength and warmth.
Modern Sashiko products have now rejuvenated interest by using traditional Japanese designs worked onto indigo dyed fabric with a white contrast running stitch. A luxury finish to quilting, home furnishings and craft projects.
