The wonderful thing about Moyouzashi sashiko is that we can make curved lines! Iconic and instantly recognizable, circular patterns are a staple of the sashiko stitcher’s repertoire. They look so straightforward … but where do you start stitching? What direction do you go? What are the rules again? Journey with us as we tackle the basics of a deceptively simple circular pattern that will get those sashiko juices flowing…
Supplies needed:
- ring thimble with plate
- Sashiko needle
- 12-weight or Sashiko thread
- 8” x 8” fabric swatch
