Sashiko embroidery is essentially a running stitch with a proportion of 3:2 with the largest stitch showing on the right side. Over the next few posts I will be sharing some of my books on the subject showcasing both traditional and contemporary patterns.
This particular book is published by Ondori ISBN 978-277-31159-5

It has quite a clear 'how to' showing you both technique, the materials you will need and how to trace the patterns onto your cloth. 
There are full page patterns of the more traditional patterns ready for you to trace.
As well as instructions for projects that you can make using your embroidered cloth, such as coasters, napkins and book covers.
Tote bags and sweet clutch purses.
As well as Zipper box shaped pouches and drawstring bags.

Hi Kristine, I love this blog. Our Corgi is almost 4 - this winter. He is the BEST dog ever. He plays with both of the kids so wonderfully. Soon I hope to add a girl to the mix.
I really love the look of this embroidery - so simple but very effective. Thanks for the info about the book.

How hard are the instructions for the non-Japanese reader? Would I be able to make it out? I would really like to get this book off of amazon, Japan.
