Sashiko Tutorial

Sashiko embroidery is one of my favorite crafts.  It's easy to master and the process is very meditative and relaxing.  Although the patterns can look difficult, they are just a matter of breaking down the whole into linear parts.  --Mari

Hi SJarry-

Yes you may, as long as you link any photos directly back to us for the instruction and patterns.

Thanks for asking!

Should the stitches of Sashiko be the same size on the front and the back of the piece? My stitches in the back are much smaller than the front. Thanks for your help

Hi Jacque-

The back stitches are usually a bit smaller than the front stitches, but as you get more practice they might even out a bit.

Thank you for your question.
