Upcycling with Sashiko-Inspired Embroidery

Overview

“In this lesson we're stitching the kakinohanazashi, or "persimmon flower stitch." Whilst this stitch looks complex, drawing the pattern first helps prevent confusion of where to put our needle. We create a beautiful design using the simple over-and-under stitching techniques with alternating rows. Working in different directions helps avoid mistakes, and reveals the intricate pattern, making the stitching process magical as the pattern appears as we progress in our stitching.”

In this video lesson Kate Ward addresses the topic: The Stitching Process 3, which is part of the Domestika online course: Upcycling with Sashiko-Inspired Embroidery. Learn the traditional Japanese technique of sashiko embroidery and create sustainable garments with Kate Ward.
