Chusen Dyed Shima Tote Kit

Enjoy this creative project with freeform sashiko.

The Chusen dyed nukumori stripe fabric is handwoven, and then dyed. This method produces a beautiful striped fabric, with rich blue patterns that you can use as your base for a unique piece of sashiko for your tote which is roomy enough for the essentials you need to carry with you. Your design can be as simple or as complex as you want. Enjoy the meditative process as you create.

 This kit contains everything you need to make your tote, and comprehensive tips to help you use the beautiful Chusen hand woven and dyed fabric to be creative.
