Ultimate Sashiko Card Deck

Chosen from the patterns included in The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook, author Susan Briscoe's favorites are presented in a handy card format which can be used on their own or in conjunction with the book. Get started on your Sashiko journey with these 52 stitch patterns presented on easy-to-follow cards.

The cards are the perfect introduction to this ancient art, with a beautiful photograph sample presented along with the name of the stitch pattern and a little bit about it, including which other patterns it pairs well with or may be similar to. The cards show the finished stitch pattern as a swatch, along with a brief history of its name, and instructions for how to make the pattern yourself, with clear diagrams . Among the 52 cards are nine easy-to-identify foundational stitch patterns that act as the starting point for sashiko.

Everything you need to know to get started — from the absolute basics to the materials needed — are included in the handy 16-page booklet. Additional trips and tricks make the card deck a complete package, perfect for a novice stitcher or for a more experienced crafter looking to expand their knowledge. The cards are presented in a wafer sealed box, with a belly band, making them easy to carry around and easy to store.
