Please note: One of the thread colours supplied is genuine Olympus sashiko thread, measured especially for this kit from a larger 100m bundle. The original Olympus band is included and is marked “100m”, as this refers to the full bundle from which the thread is supplied. Your kit contains 5m of Olympus thread, not 100m.

Skip the fuss – Our peel-and-stick water-soluble templates mean no tracing, no ironing. Just peel off the adhesive backing. Stick the water-soluble template onto the fabric. Use sashiko running stitches to secure + decorate. Wash away the template—reveal your artful repair!

NOTE: This is a DIY kit – the picture of the completed Sashiko is for demonstration purposes, to show what the kit makes.

🌟FREE personalisation – If this is a gift, we can put a personalised label on the inside cover of the box for you.
