A couple of Sashiko pre-printed patterned cloths and some of the threads we have available now. We also have Sashiko needles and thimbles
After following the stitch pattern (printed on 1/2 of the rectangular cloth) and after washing out the printed ink and ironing, you can sew up a small pillow or a table mat.
You can also get creative & sew another pattern on the blank half and make a tea towel, use it for patch mending, make pouches and other craft items.
(Please excuse the cloth crease lines in the photo)

Happy New Year!
Best wishes to everyone for a happy & prosperous 2025 the Year of the Snake 🐍

Pretty blue & white 8”D ramen bowls - one with a “hana kikko” tortoise shell pattern with a flower design & one with a “hana seikaiha” ocean wave pattern with a flower design
The interior has a paler blue colour than its outer side making it a nice contrast.
These bowls can also be used for salads, as a smaller serving bowl
Our current new favorite bowls in the store!
