Sashiko Coasters
Finally got round to completing the set of 5 coasters after choosing the backing fabric. Although the Sashiko coaster kit just require you to sew up the sides without any batting or backing, I chose to add on a lightweight iron on interface and a backing fabric.

I chose a dark Japanese print Kaufman fabric (almost black) with Kanji prints on it. I feel that it brings out the Japanese-ness of the Sashiko stitching.

I’m looking forward to completing the rest of the Sashiko kits!
Yvette, they look terrific…..what no. in North Bridge Road for that wholesaler?
These are beautiful, so well done. I love the fabric you’ve backed them with as well, such a good choice.
Did you finish the coasters by hand or on the sewing machine?
Hi Dee, I finished it by machine. I’m pulling out more Sashiko kits and working on them now. I’m planning the finishing for the bigger mats now 😉 Check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/MidnightCrafts.net/
