What is Sashiko?

Sashiko means “little stabs,” which perfectly describes this Japanese style of hand embroidery that creates beautiful, intricate patterns from a simple running stitch. It’s easy to learn and a relaxing art for stitchers of all levels. 

From our community of happy customers…

Everything about this shop is top notch - the customer service, speedy and affordable shipping, Claudia's guidance about stitching, color, and tools, the quality of products at great prices - Snuggly Monkey is the best! I have learned so much about stitching thanks to Claudia's classes and the instagram lives/videos as well as the blog.
