Sashiko, translating to "little stabs," is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique using simple, precise running stitches to create decorative, geometric patterns, primarily functional for strengthening or repairing fabric.

Originally, it used white cotton thread on indigo-dyed cloth, with modern applications including visible mending, quilting, and garment decoration. The simple stitches are easy to learn.
