Sashiko for Making and Mending - Saki Iiduka

From Saki Iiduka, Sashiko for Making and Mending is a hardback craft book exploring the visible mending movement through sashiko embroidery. Centred on repairing and reinforcing well-loved, high-quality pieces rather than replacing them, it offers a practical way to build confidence with traditional Japanese stitching while creating items you can use every day.

Across 80 pages, the book includes instructions for 15 handmade projects plus variations. Expect a mix of making and mending ideas, from indigo pouches and a rustic linen book cover to multipurpose cotton stoles and an elegant tote bag. Clear guidance shows how sashiko stitching can be used to mend rips and tackle details such as fraying cuffs, while also adding considered embellishment to pieces like napkins or jackets.
