Boro & Sashiko, Harmonious Imperfection cover

Authors Shannon and Jason Mullett-Bowlsby, a.k.a The Shibaguyz, teach 30+ sashiko and boro designs in the traditional Japanese style. This guide includes nine contemporary projects like a pillow, wallhanging, tote, and kimono jacket.

While it may go against everything you've been taught, the ancient practices of boro and sashiko are all about learning to embrace imperfection. In this easy-to-follow guide, authors Shannon and Jason Mullett-Bowlsby offer stitching lessons that are true to traditon, inspired by the historical work of Japanese masters. There are nine projects to try your hand at, each with its own contemporary twist. You'll soon be raiding your scrap bin, eager to create more!
