This boxed deck by sashiko expert Susan Briscoe presents 52 traditional sashiko patterns, one per card. Each card shows a stitched sample with the pattern name and a little of its history, and the back gives step-by-step instructions with a clear diagram. Nine foundation patterns are marked as the place to start.

A 16-page booklet covers materials and the basics. The patterns are drawn from her book The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook, and the cards work on their own or alongside it.
