DIY Sashiko Tote Bag Kit Japanese Embroidery Starter Set with Template Thread Cotton Bag Visible Mending Decorative Stitching Craft gift

Stitch Your Own Story with Japanese Sashiko Art! ✨
Transform a simple cotton tote into a unique, hand-embellished masterpiece. This beginner-friendly kit teaches you the centuries-old Japanese art of Sashiko—a mindful practice of decorative reinforcement stitching that’s equal parts practical and beautiful.

📦 Your Complete Sashiko Studio in a Kit:
✔ 30x30cm 100% Cotton Tote Bag: Your blank canvas, pre-made and ready to decorate.
✔ Authentic Sashiko Thread: 5 meters each of 2 contrasting colours (e.g., classic white on indigo). You can sew your design in just one colour, or use 2 colours as I did in the photo examples.
✔ Traditional Sashiko Needle: Long and sharp, perfect for loading multiple stitches.
✔ Reusable Plastic Template: A 20cm pattern – if you have a specific request for a design (fish/geometric/leaf/dragonfly), please note it in the ‘personalisation’ box
✔ Tailor’s Chalk Pencil: For easy, washable marking.
