Sashiko and Boro are a Japanese style of creating patterns using a simple stab or running stitch.  Sashiko is based on patterns created on a grid.  Boro is simple stitching used for layering and patching clothing and home textile furnishings.  Sashiko follows some rules for style, while Boro follows what works for mending. 

This embroidery technique is perfect for beginning stitchers and practiced hand sewers alike.
