PICE threads

These wonderful Japanese threads are a fine Polyester.

They come on the cutest wooden spools in traditional Japanese murky colours.

I use them for English Paper Piecing as they are strong and fine and won't 
get worn down by your card edges.

I also use them for hand applique - once again because they are fine.



There is 200 metres on each reel.

$8.00 per reel.

Hitomezashi Tote Bag


This is such an easy but effective bag to make. 
The Hitomezashi stitching is one of the easiest designs but is also one of the 
most effective as it creates a beautiful Honeycomb design. 


The panel for the stitching comes pre-printed with dots which is what makes 
it so easy to stitch.


Then of course the Tote Bag construction is simple too.


The kit comes with full instructions, the pre-printed panel, the blue for the 
bag outside, the lining fabric, stabiliser and the sashiko threads and needles.

Kitset: $88.00

Stitching Panel only: $13.00 with either indigo or white background.

Kogin Pin Cushion

This cute little pin cushion measures 3 1/2" square and is 1 1/2" high. 

Kogin is Japanese counted stitching so is quite easy to do.

The instructions are in Japanese but the diagrams are good and I have written 
some extra instructions in English to help.


$19.50 for a kitset which contains everything you need to make it 
including the stuffing.
