Contemporary Kogin-zashi
Discover the elegance and resilience of kogin-zashi—a distinct form of Japanese sashiko stitching that transforms small stitching into art.

In Contemporary Kogin-zashi, best-selling authors Shannon Roudhán and Jason Bowlsby invite you to explore this historic embroidery tradition through a modern lens. Once born of necessity, kogin-zashi has evolved into a breathtaking technique for embellishing garments, home décor, and more.

Featuring step-by-step visual instructions, detailed photography, and a comprehensive stitch library, this book guides you through the process of creating 10 stunning customizable kogin projects. Each design blends mindfulness with craftsmanship, teaching you to fill the fabric’s weave with beauty, purpose, and story—one stitch at a time.

Slow down, breathe, and let each stitch connect you to centuries of creative expression.

We just put together The Multi-Craft Library🎉 It’s six of our foundational books bundled into one limited-edition collection that we're really excited about. Crochet, sashiko, boro, quilting, and kogin-zashi; six disciplines that talk to each other, inform each other, and completely change how you approach making.

We're only doing FIVE of these bundles. That's not marketing speak, we really do only have five ready to go. All six books for $115 (they're $162.70 if you bought them separately, but who's counting?). Signed, sealed, and delivered just in time for you to dive deep this winter. We even have a couple of surprises we’ll include! Keep them all for yourself or give them to your crafting, making, stitching, quilting friends.
