Sashiko is a traditional embroidery style from Japan. Originally used for repair and reinforcements in clothing, now it is often used for decorative purposes. All Sashiko patterns are created with a basic running stitch, with the aim of keeping stitches as regular as possible so it is similar to hand quilting, however Sashiko designs are created on a single layer of fabric. Tulips are common motifs in Hungarian folk art, the fruits of poppies symbolise fertility and production and in old folk events it was also used as a tool to drive out witches. The centre expanding design is often seen in tablecloths.
Kit includes; Tulip Sashiko needle, Sashiko thread, pre-printed natural cotton cloth and full instruction sheet.
