Sashiko embroidery
See how much fabric and trimmings you need
Brand: Selfmade
Suitable for interior: Decoration
1- Using tailor’s chalk or a marker pen, draw sewing lines. You decide for yourself how close to draw the lines. We embroidered parallel lines with 2 cm gaps between them.
2- When you embroider on a piece of fabric with volume interfacing on the wrong side, you can secure your thread on the back.
3- Vary stitch length as you wish. Long or short, both look good. In photo 1., our stitches are 0.5 cm long. You sew a simple running stitch, sticking the needle up and down through all the layers of fabric. You can sew to form a stitched pattern, or you can stitch around e.g. a printed leaf, circle or squares.
