Sashiko Christmas Star Decoration Kit (5 pack) Red

I made 2 stars - then made the rest into a star runner for Christmas.

I loved doing these. The kit came with everything except the filling. I actually managed to turn the stars without cutting the back - I put a small amount of interfacing on the red fabric to prevent it fraying, and then turned it from a small gap in the side seam. A great ‘take anywhere’ project.

I just love these so much. Superb quality and I can't wait to see them finished.

gorgeous fantastic great

Looking forward to making this

Great instructions - great outcome - easy to do. I modified the instructions slightly sewing the long edges of the backing fabric together (1/8 inch seam allowance), pressed the folded edge, cut along it, and the pressed the seam open, then placed the backing on the embroidered front (wrong sides together) - sewed around the stars as per instructions then open a small portion of the backing seam & turned inside out. Stuffed the stars and then hand sewed up the opening at the back. Worked out very neatly.

I wish there had been some instructions that included which stars to stitch on the fabric provided AND still have room for sewing them together.

Not a big problem but you have to be careful with cutting out and stitching stars with all the other stars around the chosen one. Also I should have used a finer sashiko needle and or thread as my needle and given thread made larger holes. The red thread on cream is really nice. delivery time was excellent. Thanks

Enjoyed the process. Simple design

Great kit
