Sashiko Panel ‘Temari’ (手毬) . Temari balls are a folk art form and Japanese craft. The Temari are made from embroidery and maybe used in a form of Japanese handball in use from 7th century CE. Panel sewn with 3 colours as shown.
This site is to show off my hobby of creative hand sewing. It has been a love of mine since I was 10 years old. Now, not only is it a very meditative past time, but it also exercises my eye & hand co-ordination after a battle with a huge brain tumour that didn't take my life but it took from me a lot of skills I took for granted. NOTHING ON THIS SITE IS FOR SALE. Items I make are for me, my family, my friends and occasionally, charity. Enjoy!
