Want to mark your own sashiko hanafukin (flower cloth) samplers? Or use the traditional narrow width sarashi cloth (an easy to stitch, slightly absorbent, traditional Japanese cotton cloth) for other projects? - it is ideal for boro patches or as a foundation fabric. This pack contains four unprinted 33 x 70cm panels for you to create your own designs, in almond milk, sage, pale grey, navy blue and taupe*. The colours are identical to the printed Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. hanafukin sampler panels in the 'La Bouquetiere' range. Use them doubled, with the edges turned in, to make traditional hanafukin, or stitch through just one layer, or cut into patches for other projects.
Ideal with our Japanese hanafukin sashiko sampler books.
Sarashi cloth is quite lightweight compared with other sashiko fabrics, but is very easy to stitch (even if you decide to go traditional and stitch through two layers), super absorbent and wears well. It is one of the fabrics traditionally used for kimono underwear! It is very soft and would make lovely lightweight 'quilts' for babies, using just two layers.
Made by Olympus Thread Mfg. Co. in Japan.
100% cotton.
