A while back, I tried to do some Sashiko needle work. I mostly sew on sewing machines just because I love the speed and how precise the stitches are. But sometimes, it is nice to sit down and do some hand stitching. It is like a form of meditation.
This cotton fabric from Japan came with the pre-printed stitch lines so that a complete beginner like me can follow the stitch lines to make it look decent. It was fun and relaxing.

I used a thread that has multiple shades of indigo blue. Now that I look back at it, I feel as though I should have used a solid blue colour.
