This sashiko stitching sampler is a relaxing easy stitching project with the same timeless and peaceful beauty we associate with other Japanese sashiko patterns.
The cloth is printed with wash out ink. Keep it dry until you have finished stitching. After that, a short soak and rinse will remove the print entirely leaving your stitching clear and beautiful. (Do not iron until after washing, heat may set the ink.)
It is one of a series of 6 of the Nagomi "Sashiko Flower Cloth" series which is designed referencing Japanese concepts of wellness, emotional balance, ease and calmness. Many of us find sashiko stitching calming and relaxing to do.
