We'll be making a 'Daisy Tote' for our workshop in June this year.
We've put a kit together which makes it incredibly easy, but you may have fabric and other materials in your stash that you can use instead. That said, the hana fukin H-2056 (navy diagonal dot grid) is essential for this project. The kits will be held for you to collect at the workshop (one less thing to carry!!)
The kit contains
- H-2056 hana fukin x 1
- ST-115 100m sashiko thread
- ST-154 x 2 strands sashiko thread
- ST-303 x 20 strands sashiko thread
- BT-302 Bag tape Navy #41. 2 x 24" (or one 48" piece)
- Sashiko needles
- 5" square navy tsumugi for yuza sashiko
- 5" x 4" stitched fabric
- 4" square navy tsumugi dot grid
- 5" square navy tsumugi (TS-2008) for background
- Chaco paper for transferring patterns
- Fabric pieces to make up bag
- Instructions
