Authentic Sashiko Template: Traditional Japanese Dishcloth for Premium Quality Review

I love this sashiko set, well worth the money! Easy to use and has a very cute design! I've really fallen in love with this form of sewing and here are some really good practice kits.

Absolutely great set to start with! The kit is very valuable as everything I received was made in Japan by Yokota (Daruma). I love it and have already started sewing one of these.

Long needles are better for sewing straight stitches. The thimbles are not "toys" and very durable. Where MtnMona says "A can…

I discovered Sashiko while looking for ways to mend clothes. I've watched a few videos and experimented a bit myself using regular embroidery thread, but decided to try one of these kits to practice more on a particular needle technique.

The guide requires some thought to understand its translation, but it's not that bad, and if you're really stuck there are hundreds of good YouTube videos you can check out with a simple search…
