Description
Indigo Blue Sashiko Panel.
This sashiko panel, designed by Susan Briscoe, is printed on indigo blue colour Japanese tsumugi cotton fabric in wash out ink. You can just thread your sashiko needle with some sashiko thread and enjoy your stitching.
There are8 ready to stitch traditional sashiko patterns. Each is 9″ X 9″ square. In addition there are eight 4 1/2″ small sashiko motifs. The individual blocks are marked witha cutting line and have a3/8″ seam allowance to make it easy to use them for quilts, table covers, clothing, bags or other project. If you choose to use the panel as a whole cloth, wall hanging, or for cushions or small quilts, there is no need to stitch the cutting lines markings, they will completely wash away after your stitching is finished.
Fabric Care
This tsumugi fabric is an exceptional fine quality fabric. It is washable and will not bleed, fade or shrink.I do shake it out while still a bit damp and hang it to finish drying because all cotton fabricsloose their health and beauty if over-dried or dried in hot air.
Notes
Ready to stitch preprinted sashiko patterns on tsumugi fabrics are available in several colours, in panelsand smaller projects, and I have the matching plain tsumugi fabric also available. The tsumugi fabric colours are particularly beautiful when combined in the same project.
Tsumugi Fabrics
This Tsumugifabricis made for Olympus in Japan. It is afine quality cottonversionof the very expensive antique tsumugi silks of the past. Thefabricis woven on a black warp with some softslubby-ness. This creates the distinctive appearance of tsumugi cloth, andcombined withthe earthy tones of the weft thread colours, makes itsimilar inappearance to theoriginal Japanese tsumugicloth.
