Sashiko

For the first time I tried to make "sashiko", kind of Japanese quilt / embroidery. As beginner, I used some sashiko kits.



I made a cleaning cloth for kitchen. This pattern is called "Asanoha" which means hemp leaf.



And two coasters.

Making sashiko is more difficult than I thought. My stitches are irregular and the lines are not straight enough...

Apart from the diffuclty I actually enjoyed to make sashiko. Completing a sashiko project after a long running stitch work satisfyed me and curiously I would like to start to make a new sashiko immediately.

I have one more kit to be finished. I will show the completed work here soon.
