sashiko repair kit

Give your clothes a second life with Japanese visible mending.

Learn the art of Japanese visible mending with our Sashiko Repair Kit. Perfect for both beginners and expert crafters, the kit includes everything you need to learn the basics of sashiko and move on to your own sashiko projects.

Sashiko is the Japanese art of repairing and strengthening fabric with beautiful geometric stitching patterns. Similar to the art of kintsugi, sashiko reveals the beauty in imperfection by highlighting the history of an object. Traditionally, sashiko-adorned clothing would be passed down through generations, each owner adding their own repairs until the fabric became a beautiful piece of art representing the past of the whole family.

Our complete kit contains everything you need to learn how to do sashiko embroidery: 

• The kit includes detailed illustrated instructions that help you follow each step with clarity and learn stitches with confidence.
• 5 fabric patches in mixed colours and materials (off white cotton, indigo cotton, indigo denim, various denim) including 2 made from deadstock, so you can practise your techniques while using sustainable materials.
• 2 needles that are sized for smooth, even stitching through layered fabrics.
• 3 colours of thread (light blue, dark blue, white) so you can personalise each piece. 
• 2 heat-erasable pens in white and blue that let you mark guidelines which disappear for a clean finish.
• 2 sashiko stencils that allow you to trace classic patterns with ease and achieve neat, repeatable designs. 

Transform ordinary fabrics into unique pieces with the art of Sashiko!
