Stitching Sashiko - Shannon Leigh Roudhan

From Shannon Leigh Roudhán and Jason Bowlsby, Stitching Sashiko is a paperback guide to decorative Japanese embroidery and mending, designed to build confidence through clear, visual instruction. With step-by-step photographs and vivid images throughout, it introduces the foundations of sashiko and shows how this tradition—originally used for mending and reinforcing garments—has developed into a widely loved decorative stitching style.

Across 128 pages, the authors cover basic techniques and more than 40 sashiko stitch patterns, alongside guidance on supplies and preparation. You’ll also explore hitomezashi and moyouzashi, with expert tips and favourite tools to help refine your approach as your skills grow. Compact enough to keep close at hand, it’s an inspiring companion for stitchers looking to practise, learn new patterns, or bring a considered finish to mending projects.
