This website is set up to encourage the practice of traditional sashiko stitching, and to stimulate and explore new and innovative ways to to apply sashiko stitching to modern fibre art projects.

NEW:  We are beginning an online project to teach sashiko stitching. This is an absolute beginners tutorial, but will be enjoyable for any skill level.  We will walk you through making an 11 x 17 inch sashiko stitched project called dragonfly over diamond waves.  The tutorial is free.  The starting date is July 14, 2010.  The tutorial will be delivered through our Sashiko Stitchers newsletter and will include step by step how to, along with interesting history and tid-bits about sashiko.  Register by signing up for our newsletter in the side menu.  You can order supplies you may need from About Furoshiki (see link in right sidebar)

This site is created by Alderspring Design, designer and wholesaler for sashiko patterns.  To shop for sashiko patterns and supplies online visit our secure website About Furoshiki (see link in right sidebar) (stores and resellers should go to www.alderspringdesign.com)
