Inspiration

I have been looking into Sashiko stitching (a form of decorative reinforcement stitching or functional embroidery from Japan) as part of my creation process for Re-fashioners 2016, and I just love the way it looks on denim!  It can be used to accent mended denim or simply as a design detail and I am looking forward to incorporating it into my project!
