This book features a curated collection of more than 25 everyday projects, blending the bold styles of Kantha and Yao embroidery with the refined patterns of sashiko to create a new, modern approach to hand-stitching. Designed with today’s lifestyle in mind, the projects range from mini tote bags and drawstring pouches to home décor items like cushions, mats, and coasters — each one with step-by-step photos and instructions. Modern Sashiko introduces six unique stitching styles from different regions, guiding readers through techniques that honor tradition while encouraging personal creativity. There’s also an introductory section with overviews on needles and thread, fabric, basic stitches, and ending stitches.
