Design a tote bag using Hitomezashi Sashiko techniques and create stunning patterns like a pro!
Hitomezashi Sashiko, like all Sashiko, is a method of hand stitching that helps reinforce textiles whilst creating beautifully intricate patterns. Hitomezashi differs from other types of Sashiko as it uses the same length of stitching on either side of the fabric. Known as 'one stitch' Sashiko, Hitomezashi patterns are all stitched on a regular grid where the stitches meet and cross at intersections
Learn the fundamentals of this stitching technique with instructor Rob Jones and create your own design on a tote bag with this course and kit.
