Sashiko stitching is a traditional Japanese technique of sewing that has been used for centuries to reinforce fabrics and add decorative patterns. The word “sashiko” means “little stabs” and refers to the distinctive running stitch that is not only functional but also beautifully ornamental. This stitching technique was originally used to mend or reinforce workwear and everyday fabrics that were susceptible to wear and tear. However, today’s artisans and enthusiasts use sashiko stitching to embellish a vast array of textiles, including clothing, household items, and accessories.
