Hana Fukin – Hitomezashi Sashiko Sampler – Square Turtle Tie H-1019

Hitomezashi Sashiko Sampler – Square Turtle Tie H-1019The sewing lines on this Sashiko sampler are clearly marked on the fabric and will wash out after you have completed the stitching. Since the design is only printed on one half of the sampler, the other half is usually used as backing, for a pillow or another project. Hitomezashi, also called ‘one stitch’ sashiko, uses a simple running stitch to create the design. The stitches are evenly spaced and equal in size on the surface and the underside of your fabric. As well as turning this Sashiko sampler into a functional cloth, you can also sew it into a bag; cushion cover or even table cloths or place mats. Sashiko is an easy over-under running stitch. A great take along project and no hoop needed. Sashiko Threads and Needles are available in our store separately.  Sashiko Sampler – Square Turtle Tie H-1019Color: white100% cotton – Finished size approximately 34cm x 34cmMade in Japan by Olympus.
