Sashiko Sampler - Seikai-ha (Ocean Waves)

Adding sashiko to my embroidery game opened up a whole new world of pattern and texture. This traditional Japanese pattern, Seikai-ha, is inspired by shapes in nature, ocean waves. Navy and white are a striking combined with the rhythmic pattern make this a real beauty stitched up.  The pattern is pre-printed on 100% cotton. The lines of the pattern wash away once stitching is complete, so don't pre-wash the sampler! Use the finished piece as a tea towel, handkerchief, or decorative wall hanging.  Make it a kit by adding one skein of 20 meter white sashiko thread and sashiko needles to complete the pattern.
