One of a range of sashiko panels inspired by the concept of nagomi* ('balance' or 'harmony'), these beautiful designs play with traditional Japanese patterns in a fresh, new way, giving you new patterns to explore and develop your sashiko stitching.
 

This pre printed sashiko sampler panelfrom Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. is called a  'hana fukin' (which literally means 'flower cloth') in Japanese. It is printed in grey on indigo blue 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 and make them into various other items, such as bags, cushions or quilt panels. They also look great framed.


The traditiona yamaji (mountain road) pattern is given a snazzy new look with a symmetrical arrangement that alternates the design with tsuzuki yamagata (continuous mountain form) in the top right and bottom left of the panel.
 

There are six different sampler designs in this collection - and they are available as as panels (white, or indigo blue for four of the patterns) or as full kits (on white only), with threads and a needle.

This listing is for the panel only, so you can select your own sashiko threads. You will need two 20m threads or one 80m sashiko thread to complete this panel, so just under 40m of thread in total. These panels are great for using up oddments of threads left over from other sashiko projects, combining various shades that harmonise well, or you can choose from my extensive range of sashiko threads, by type or by colour.

 

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!
