Sashiko embroidery has been used in Japan for centuries

dating back to the Edo era of the 1600s to the 1800s. The Japanese word sashiko means "little stabs" and refers to the small stitches used in this form of needlework.

Sashiko has regained popularity in recent years due to the striking simplicity of the designs and ease of stitching. This makes it a technique that can be learned by anyone, no matter their skill level.
