Get started with the art of Sashiko and give your clothes a second life.
Discover Japanese Sashiko embroidery, an age-old technique that is simple, graphic, and deeply calming. This mini starter kit allows you to create a textile patch, ideal for repairing clothing or personalising it with elegance.
Through the repetition of the stitch and the finesse of the patterns, Sashiko invites us to slow down and reconnect with textiles, in an approach that is both aesthetic and sustainable.
Kit contents
– 1 piece of cotton fabric (9 x 9 cm) with a Shippô pattern (which can be translated as «the seven treasures») pre-marked. The pre-marked pattern easily disappears with water or heat once the embroidery is complete.
– 1 strand of Sashiko thread
– 1 Bohin embroidery needle
– 1 explanatory sheet to guide you step by step
Level & usage
Level: beginner
Estimated time: 30 minutes
This kit is ideal for gently discovering Sashiko and completing a first practical mini-project: a patch to sew onto damaged clothing or to transform as you wish.
The spirit of Sashiko
Born in Japan, Sashiko was originally a technique for repairing and reinforcing textiles. Today, it embodies a philosophy of simple, repetitive, and meditative gestures, where each stitch contributes to the beauty of the whole.
