I have finished my first ever piece of Sashiko. My friend Jan gave it to me for my birthday. She had a trip to Japan earlier this year and got all the ladies in our little sewing group pieces of Sashiko.
The instructions were in Japanese but it was self explanatory really.The diagrams worked. It was easy.
I googled the word seigaiha . It literally means blue sea and waves. It is a traditional Japanee pattern of overlapping concentric circles to create the appearance of waves.
I made a cushion cover to put it on . I sewed it on top so if it gets spoiled when in use I can remove it and the cover will be still usable
Still on a Japanee theme. 3 of our flowering cherries are looking great. The tui,wax eyes and sparrows are enjoying them.

Well done. It looks good. I’ve worked a couple of panels, but not used them. I have plans to make a bag….when I get around to it. Your blossoms are looking lovely. Ours are a way off yet.
