NB - international shipping* is temporarily disabled. New shipping rates by weight will be coming soon!
*EU shipping can only resume when the EU simplifies its VAT regulations on mail orders. Please complain to your MEP to try to change the regs for small non EU businesses! We can't calculate, charge and remit the different amounts of VAT to all 27 EU countries four times a year, when we are one person businesses. It is too much admin and too expensive to employ an EU based agent as currently required.
A range of stunning contemporary sashiko sampler cloths from QH Textiles, on two different fabric colours. These panels are printed on sarashi, a lightweight, absorbent cotton traditionally used for hanafukin cloths.
Hanafukin are used like a cross between a napkin, placemat, and dish cloth, traditionally stitched through two layers, but the fabric is also suitable for bags, cushions, quilts etc. and many people stitch through just one layer for these. What will you make and which pattern will you choose?
NB - the blue cotton is a different shade from the Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. indigo or dark blue hanafukin panels.
