Hitomezashi Little Gift Bags

I have had fun making these cute Little Gift Bags.

 Blue Star  

There are just so many options for colour combinations and Hitomezashi pre-printed designs.

 
Gold Crosses

The Hitomezashi design comes pre-printed on indigo or white cotton and I have 

combined that with a linen or linen/cotton mix fabric.  

I am loving the textured weave on these fabrics.

 Red Sakura

The lining fabric is a more lightweight cotton.

They make nice Little Gifts when filled with nice soap, some special chocolates 

or any other treasure you can think of.


I now have kitsets made for them all. 
The kit contains: the pre-printed design, the outer fabric and lining, stabilizer, 
Sashiko thread, Sashiko needle, Perle Cotton for ties and full instructions.

 Gold Chain

The finished size is  5.5" by 6.5"


Cost: $25.00 plus postage

Sashiko Threads


I now have a much larger range of sashiko threads. 
This means I now have two weights - the thicker that I have always had 
by Olympus and some finer ones. 
The range of colours has increased a lot with these new brands.


These are finer 40m hanks $5.60 each


These are Olympus thicker 20m $5.60



These threads on card are finer 40m $5.60

These on a reel are thicker 30m $9.10



You can order by quoting hank, reel or card and eg: third from left, 
the colour is also helpful.
