✦ About This Book – Elegant Sashiko Pattern
刺し子 こぎん刺し 刺しゅうのデザイン
This richly layered Japanese craft book brings together elegant sashiko pattern designs, kogin embroidery, and mixed embroidery techniques across six distinct creative styles — each section designed by a different Japanese artist. Far beyond traditional sashiko, this book reimagines the craft through French chic Moroccan motifs, bold ethnic textile patterns, monotone kogin wall art, and sashiko-embroidery hybrids that push the technique into fresh, contemporary territory.
✦ What’s Inside – Sashiko Pattern Designs Across 6 Creative Styles
