An amazing faux sashiko fabric from Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. - this isn't printed, it is woven with thick blue threads to look just like the kakinohanazashi hitomezashi (persimmon flower stitch, one stitch) sashiko pattern! So if you want the hitomezashi look for a project but are daunted by the amount of stitching needed, this fabric could be the answer. The 4cm (1.6in) plain squares could be filled with sashiko motifs or even tiny appliques.  Ideal for any project (bags, quilts, home textiles, wearables etc.) where you want the densely stitched hitomezashi look, but without spending a long time stitching it.  The fabric thickness is similar to other fabrics in the Sakizome Momen range, so it is thicker than patchwork fabic. This listing is for the blue on cream version, as shown in the first photo.
 
I have three other versions in stock - the same pattern in cream on blue, plus shikaku (squares) and juuji (crosses ) in cream on blue - as shown in the other photos.  The cream on blue versions are identical colours, ideal for combining in one project.
