Изготовление

1
picture

Lay cotton cloth on a hard, flat surface. Cover with "Clover Chacopy", chalk side facing down on fabric right side. Trace the Sashiko pattern lines with the tracing wheel.

With the pattern now transferred to the fabric, stitch along the design lines using Sashiko needles and thread.
*Stitch only inside the finished area (marked as blue square)

tip: Work the straight lines first, using the longer Sashiko needle. Keep stitches even and avoid tension. Using the shorter Sashiko needle and working fewer stitches at a time, sew the curves and finer detail.
