I wanted to try sashiko stitching because I find it beautiful and I need a slow calming activity. This book is very good value, beautifully produced and has very clear guidance. The illustrations are excellent. The full size templates are very good. It inspired me to start samplers and small projects. I enjoy the whole process from drawing the pattern out and then slowly stitching it. I also found everything else that I needed to start at Beyond Measure.

Lovely thread which is perfect for the job it was bought for, namely Sashiko stitching. This was my first time doing this sort of stitching and I found this thread perfect…it gives a really lovely finish. Can be used as a single thread or doubled up.
