• The 11 sashiko stitches (three of them original) and 23 projects presented in this book feature: Rows of uneven running stitches to create jagged stripe and check patterns that look fantastic on any item!
• Fun asymmetrical patterns created with white threads on pastel fabrics to create brightly-colored textured table settings!
• Traditional stitches applied to vividly-colored fabrics (often with two different thread colors) for a radical new look!
• Contrasting stitches on patches to create charming tote bags, potholders and more!
• Running stitches are free and relaxed.
