Sashiko is an embroidery art form that originates in Japan. As early 18th century wives created garments for their husbands, they began to utilize decorative stitch elements to reinforce and repair fabrics. These elements, over time, became more ornate, and eventually became an essential part of their culture. Traditionally the designs are sewn in white thread on fabric dyed indigo blue by the root of a Japanese plant.
This collection from OESD respectfully represents the tradition with these classic designs for you to sew on table & bedroom linens, kimono, and potholders.
