Sashiko Coaster Kit - Hitomezashi Designs

3 items left

Coasters are a great way to get started with Sashiko, a popular and simple embroidery technique from Japan.  With just a single stitch, Sashiko is easy to learn and relaxing to do. The kits come with everything you need, along with English instructions, so they are perfect for beginners.

Hitomezashi is a form of Sashiko stitching that features dense patterns that almost resemble weaving patterns. Like other forms of Sashiko, Hitomezashi uses a simple running stitch to create the repeating patterns.

Things to know.

I have been doing Sashiko embroidery for quite a while. This set, although cute and well designed has two issues. First, the fabric is gauze and hard to work with in my opinion. Second, it requires that a single thread be used which is supplied and it’s very thin thread. I cut out my stitches and replaced them with a heavier pearle thread and that looks much better. If you do Sashiko a lot you will find the their thread is hard to use on gauze.
