Sashiko 刺し子
Whether you need something patched up or just decorated we are able to use a number of different colour threads and patterns of your choice , these can be complex or traditionally simple straight lines that when done in a repetitive style will come together to achieve the detailed look you seek.
Honouring the past whilst designing our future
Meaning “little stabs”
£20 15cm × 15cm
Why not start small with a design covering a small area to not overwhelm the garment. Maybe you want to make your favourite pair of denims slightly more personal to you by adding a hand-made touch to the back pocket .
See your project the same way as you would a tattoo artist, as you can always expand the area of Sashiko on your piece when you are ready!
£40+ 30cm x 20cm
This option would be enough to cover a more significant area such as the knee as shown in the left image , also gaining the option to add more colours and patches to the overall look .
£80+ Large areas of an item
If you would like to achieve a full sashiko/boro piece or at least specific large areas with different patterns and techniques this is the option you’ll need . We will talk through each single part of the process and I will draw up a sketch before starting to ensure your vision is executed flawlessly down to the last stitch .
