How to sew Sashiko | Japanese Embroidery DIY Tutorial | Craftiosity | Craft Kit Subscription Box

🌟 Create Your Own Sashiko Placemat | Craftiosity DIY Kit Tutorial 🌟

Discover the timeless beauty of sashiko embroidery with Craftiosity’s Sashiko Placemat tutorial! In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn the art of sashiko—Japanese textile folk art that translates to “little stabs”—to create a stunning geometric-patterned placemat.

Looking for versatility? This technique can easily be adapted to create a small cushion, tote bag, or even book covers. Unlike Western embroidery, sashiko uses a longer needle, allowing you to load multiple stitches at once for a rhythmic and meditative sewing process.

What do you need?
Our exclusive kit includes everything you need:
✔️Open weave indigo coloured cotton fabric
✔️Sashiko thread
✔️Sashiko needles (stronger and longer than standard sewing needles)
✔️Tailor's chalk
✔️Sewing pins
✔️Pattern template (draw your own using the video as an example)
