Free drop in play for parents and children under 5.

Sashiko (刺し子) is a traditional Japanese form of decorative reinforcement stitching, which literally means “little stabs” or “little pierce.” Originally developed in rural Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868), Sashiko was both a practical and aesthetic craft used primarily by working-class families.

Sashiko started as a functional embroidery technique. Farmers and fishermen would layer fabrics and stitch them together with simple running stitches to:

• Reinforce worn-out clothes
• Repair holes and extend garment life
• Insulate fabric for warmth
• Save materials through recycling

It was sustainability before sustainability became a buzzword.

Though practical, Sashiko evolved into an artistic expression. It’s known for its:

• Geometric patterns: Grids, waves (seigaiha), hemp leaves (asanoha), interlocking circles (shippō), etc.
• Contrasting colors: Traditional Sashiko is often white cotton thread on deep indigo-dyed fabric.
• Repetitive, meditative designs: The rhythmic stitching creates a zen-like experience for the maker.

• Thread: Thick white cotton Sashiko thread (not embroidery floss—no sheen).
• Needles: Long, strong Sashiko needles with a small eye.
• Thimble: Often worn on the palm, not the finger, to push the needle through tough fabric.
• Fabric: Traditionally indigo-dyed cotton, but modern artists experiment with linen, denim, and more.
