Detailed photography and step-by-step visual instructions guide readers to create stunning projects using Kogin-zashi stitching. Alongside a robust stitch library, readers will find 10 projects to showcase their work. Unwind from the stress of everyday life with the slow, meditative process of forming one stitch at a time that is sashiko Master the art of Kogin embroidery, a type of sashiko stitching perfect for embellishing everything from wearables to everyday objects Learn from prolific teachers Shannon and Jason who have been teaching for 20 years in local and national venues
