Sashiko Sampler - Shippo-tsunagi (Linked Seven Treasures)

Adding sashiko to my embroidery game opened up a whole new world of pattern and texture. This traditional Japanese pattern called Linked Seven Treasures, is a maze of interlocking flowers and is 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 a skein of 20 meter white sashiko thread and sashiko needles to complete the pattern.
