These pre printed panels from Olympus Thread Mfg. Co.are called 'hana fukin' with literally means 'flower cloth'. They are printed in grey on white coloured narrow width traditional sarashi cloth (an easy to stitch traditional Japanese cotton cloth). Each panel is supplied in one piece with a plain area the same size attached, because they are designed to be stitched through both layers and the edges turned in to make a little cloth, but you can stitch the printed layer separately (as I have done above).
This new design is inspired by Japanese 'ukiyo-e' woodblock prints and depicts a traditional Kabuki actor in his 'mie' pose (pronounced 'mee- eh'). A design for the connoisseur of Japanese culture. Other designs in stock are the Ukiyo-e beauty and Sumo wrestler. All are available on either blue or white fabric.
Includes English instructions!
Sarashi cloth is quite lightweight compared with other sashiko fabrics, but is very easy to stitch, super absorbent and wears well. It is one of the fabrics traditionally used for kimono underwear!
