Denna gång blir det inte något skrivit om mitt gröna Peppermint Purple projekt! Jag har nämligen inte sytt ett enda stygn under dessa tre veckor! Däremot har jag deltagit i en 24 dagar lång kurs, där jag lärt mig sy Sashiko.
This time I´m not gonna write anything about my Peppermint Purple project! The fact is I haven´t been stitching at all on it these last three weeks. What I did do, was taking a 24 days workshop on how to sew Sashiko.

Sashiko kommer från Japan, jag har lärt mig Hitomezashi mönster (det betyder enkla stygn), som är en variant av Sashiko.
Sashiko is from Japan. I´ve learned Hitomezashi pattern (hitomezashi means one stitch), which is one method of stitching Sashiko.

Vi utgick hela tiden från ett rutmönster och variationerna är många.
We always started by drawing a grid and then there are a lot of variations on how to stitch.

Vill du testa detta härliga mönster, hittar du länken här. Du får ett mail om dagen när du anmält dig och det är gratis!
