Everyday Sashiko – Hitomesashi Cloth and Accessories by sashikonami

This is the long-awaited second book by popular sashiko artist sashikonami. While most of the Hitomesashi are based on squares, this book introduces many Hitomesashi based on diagonal stitches.

The use of colorful linens and threads enhances the loveliness of the stitching.
