Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that originated in the cold regions of Japan, where layers of cloth were stitched together to create warmer, more durable garments. Today, Sashiko is cherished for its rhythmic stitching and beautiful geometric patterns, often used in home décor and everyday textiles.

This Easy-Kit Sashiko Coaster Set includes two pre-printed coasters, making it an ideal introduction to Sashiko. The designs blend classic motifs with fresh, modern styling, perfect for contemporary dining tables.

The cotton fabric is soft, natural, and easy to stitch. The pattern is printed using a water-soluble, water-absorbent ink, so you simply stitch along the lines—once washed, the guide disappears, leaving only your hand stitching behind.

The set also encourages creativity: use the leftover thread to add decorative tassels, making each coaster even more charming and personal.

Once finished, the coasters are fully functional, adding handmade warmth and color to your daily life.
