I'm thoroughly enjoying my foray into Japanese sashiko. I've been working on very small samplers (6x6 squares)
At this point, I'm creating the patterns on my computer, following the book I purchased from Upcycle Stitches -- a Japanese sashiko pattern book.
Once I have it created, I'm able to scale & print it out for my particular needs. Right now, i'm using Google Draw to create a grid that I use for the pattern
For example:
I print those out, and trace them onto the fabric using a portable light table.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with all of the squares -- a blanket, maybe? or a dinner mat? But I'm really enjoying these bite-size samples of different sashiko patterns.
