A collection of 365 different sashiko patterns to sew - one for
every day of the year. Sashiko sewing expert, Susan Briscoe,
demonstrates 365 different sashiko patterns, one for each day of
the year - sew all 365 to make a beautiful sashiko quilt featuring
all the designs Each sashiko pattern is stitched onto a
four-and-a-half-inch square piece of fabric making it very
accessible to sew one swatch every day. You can record the date of
each sample you stitch in the book to create a record of your
sewing. All of the stitch patterns are illustrated with a
photograph of the stitched sample showing some stitches in
different coloured thread (this is used by the author to identify
which stitches to do first), next to a diagram showing the stitch
direction and the order of the stitches on the grid. All the
patterns are sewn on four-and-a-half-inch fabric swatches which can
then be pieced together to create the ultimate double bed sized
sashiko sampler quilt. But as well as sewing the samples separately
to make them into a large bed-sized quilt, the patterns can also be
repeated to create larger designs over a wider surface area to make
wall hangings, throws, table mats and smaller quilts - with this
collection of 365 designs the possibilities are endless. Sashiko
embroidery is a decorative sewing technique from Japan which was
traditionally used to reinforce clothing and other textiles. It is
an ideal stitch for visible mending and has become incredibly
popular over the last few years. The technique of sewing horizontal
and vertical stitches makes extremely attractive geometric designs
that can be adapted to suit a wide range of sewing projects. Susan
Briscoe is an expert in Japanese sewing techniques and has
travelled to Japan numerous times. She is the author of the
best-selling Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook and runs regular workshops
teaching sashiko sewing. This is the first time all of these 365
designs will appear in one book. Susan has included the Japanese
name and pattern type in the text and has grouped specific design
patterns together so you can see how they develop and use the
collection to build your skills and knowledge of sashiko patterns.
