The Japanese sewing technique sashiko involves simple stitches that have traditionally been used to mend clothes and textiles in more or less advanced patterns. In Mending with Sashiko you will learn to mend shirts, jeans, and socks with inspiration from different sashiko techniques such as hitomezashi and moyozashi. You will also learn how to sew a bodoko--a type of Japanese patchwork quilt to hang on the wall or use as a blanket.
