Mending with Sashiko is an inspiring book about the traditional Japanese mending and embroidery technique, sashiko.
The book introduces sashiko as a beautiful and practical method for visible mending, decorative repairs that breathe new life into clothing and textiles. With simple stitches and geometric patterns, both beginners and experienced sewers can learn to repair jeans, shirts, socks, blankets, and other textiles in a creative and sustainable way.
You will be guided through various sashiko techniques such as hitomezashi, moyozashi, and koginsashi, and learn which techniques are best suited for different materials and projects.
Author Takao “Momi” Momiyama also shares stories, experiences, and examples from his own work with sashiko over several decades. The book offers a unique insight into Japanese craft traditions and shows how repair can become part of a more conscious and slow approach to clothing and textiles.
A beautiful book for anyone interested in Japanese craftsmanship, embroidery, visible mending, and sustainable creativity.
