Patterns: Sashiko


Sashiko Style Embroidery by Home Baked Online

Although Sashiko is normally stitched in one colour, I love Home Baked Online's colourful interpretation. You can read more about Home Baked Online's inspiration here, which links to some free sashiko patterns. 

I also recommend checking out Aimee Ray's new book, Doodle Stitching: Embroidery & Beyond, which has a chapter on Sashiko and Shisha or Jane Brocket's The Gentle Art of Stitching, which also has a short chapter on the subject. Can you recommend any other good sources of Sashiko inspiration? We'd love to hear from you in the comments section below!

Hi, I'm Jo - I feature new embroidery patterns Sundays on Feeling Stitchy. I also post on our Twitter and Pinterest.

Is there a new pattern you'd like us feature? Email me!

  1. I like seeing the knots on top of this piece as well as the color combination. "Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts" has an entry on Sashiko along with some great templates and instructions for a Sashiko pillowcase.
