Hitomezashi Sashiko Sampler – Weaving Turtle Shell

Introduction to Hana Fukin

The Hana Fukin is an exquisite hitomezashi sashiko sampler, designed to showcase traditional Japanese embroidery techniques. This beautiful piece is not only functional but also a work of art, embodying the elegance of handwoven textiles.

Features of the Hitomezashi Sashiko Sampler

Crafted using high-quality materials, the H-1047 model showcases intricate turtle shell patterns. Each stitch reflects meticulous attention to detail, making it perfect for those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship in their home textiles.

The sewing lines on this Sashiko sampler are clearly marked on the fabric. The lines will wash out after you have completed the stitching. Since the design is only printed on one half of the sampler, the other half is usually used as backing, for a pillow or another project.

Following the stenciled lines on the fabric, your sashiko stitches (like the dark lines in the pic) will define the structure of the design. In a second step the thread (like the red lines) is woven through the sashiko stitches according to a pattern shown in the instructions. The fabric is then washed to reveal the design clear of the stenciled lines.

As well as turning this Hitomezashi Sashiko Sampler into a functional cloth, you can also sew it into a bag; cushion cover or even table cloths or place mats.

Please note the instruction is in Japanese .

Sashiko Threads and Needles are available in our store separately.
