This is fabric with a pre-printed sashiko pattern that you can embroider! The pattern disappears when washed. NB: Do not iron the fabric before washing it.
This is a lovely series with many patterns combined. When you are finished, you can use it as coasters, towels, napkins, wrapping, and more.
These packs come complete with the threads you need and a needle.
To learn more about sashiko, there is an introductory video here.
Hanafukin is slightly different from the technique in the video. It is important to hit the stitches more precisely, as each stitch helps build the pattern instead of dashed lines, but the way of holding the needle and thread, securing the thread, etc., is the same.
Search "hanafukin" on YouTube to learn more.
