What you'll get (delivered to you)

If you already know the basics of Sashiko stitching and want to create some gorgeous hand-stitched items to test your skills, you'll love this craft kit. With this Sashiko kit, you can create a pot mat-sized cloth approximately 18cm x 30cm with handmade embroidery.

Your fabric is printed with gold dots at 5mm intervals on navy blue, so you can use it to space your hitomezashi (one-stitch sashiko) stitches perfectly, without needing to draw a grid first. The fabric is smooth and strong, so it is suitable for all kinds of projects where extra durability is wanted, such as home decor like cushions and placemats, or hard-wearing bags and wearables. This placemat can be used as a pot mat, oven mitt, or hand towel.

With a variety of patterns in the how-to book, you can find a pattern to fit your style and explore others later. With this craft kit, you have the opportunity to enjoy some solo time at home, social time for a craft day with friends, or use it to create handmade gifts.

I am from Tsugaru, Aomori, Japan - the place where Kogin was born. Naturally, I grew up with many of the traditional Aomori art and crafts and began learning Kogin when I was a child.

I have been building my skills and knowledge for more than 20 years and have helped introduce many sewers to these overseas traditions.

Despite all of the new styles of embroidery patterns today, the original Kogin techniques are still being created by needlework lovers in Japan. Its design and texture are well cared for, beautiful, cute, warm, stylish, and modern.

I would love to connect with you for fun and share my Kogin knowledge with all the needlework lovers out there!
