Description: Gorgeous sashiko panels - these wonderful pieces are a lovely introduction to the traditional craft of sashiko, a Japanese embroidery technique that dates back to the Edo period (1600-1800s). Sashiko does NOT require any embroidery knowledge, there are no fancy stitches to learn, or special techniques. The design is outlined with simple running stitches (push the needle up, move to the length of the marked line, push the needle down, repeat!), and you can add your own creative vision with your choice of color of thread, weight of thread, if you want to add applique or fancy stitches to fill the design in, etc. You certainly may add applique and fancy stitches, but it will look fabulous even if you just do the simple outline!! Designer sample is shown in the middle photo, my own work is shown as the last photo - I elected not to stitch out the kanji, but have not washed it out yet in the photo (I also cut the panel in half and serged the edges, as I will be sewing it into another project). You can turn the finished panel into a wall hanging, or add it into a quilt, or piece into a garment. Cut out blocks and use separate from the whole, or use the whole as one piece. The options are endless!! Panel design is printed in white on navy blue cotton, and the printed design will wash out when you are done. (So be careful not to prewash the fabric and don't get it wet or steam it before you are ready to lose the design!!). This panel is a picture of two rabbits merrily jumping over waves under a crescent moon. In the bottom left corner is the kanji character 'nami', meaning waves. Both rabbits and waves symbolize moving forward in life past obstacles, and rabbits are also considered a lucky animal. Directions are included. Panel info is printed on selvedge. Finished panel is about 12"x12". No returns accepted. Colors may vary by monitor. If you need precise color or texture, please order a swatch (look in our shop for the Swatch item for terms and ordering info). SHIPPING NOTE: We charge a flat $5 fee PER ORDER in our eBay shop.
