Greetings Everyone
|
It's hard to believe it's almost time for the kids to go back
to school. Does that mean more time for sewing with the kids away for a
few hours or less time as schedules get busy with sports and other activities?
If you need a quick, take-a-long project, try your hand at a sashiko sampler. The stitching lines are pre-printed so it's easy to do the simple running stitch and you don't have to worry about losing your place. You can take them with you wherever you go - even on airplanes!

Japanese Yukata cotton fabrics. In Japan, Yukata refers to both the light weight cotton fabric
and the kimono like garment made from the Yukata fabric. The
fabric designs vary from traditional geometric patterns to more
colorful designs depicting flora and fauna. Japanese Yukata fabrics are
ideal for both garments and quilt making. Remember when ordering
that these Japanese fabrics are approximately 13" wide. http://www.shiboridragon.com/Yukata.htm
