Sashiko is Japanese hand-stitching rooted in the mending traditions of rural Edo-period Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is printed on the cloth in water-soluble ink. Stitch over the printed lines with sashiko thread, then wash the finished piece and the printing disappears, leaving only your stitching. The drafting and design transfer are already done, so the geometry comes out accurate from the first stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the preprinted cloth with English instructions.
