A couple of weeks ago I completed my first complex hand drawn sampler with inspiration from the Kaku-Kikkou-Tsunagi (Interlocking tortoise shells) design though I changed it a little by joining the white lines. It was more difficult to draw than sew but I used a geometry/science template that has various hexagonal shapes and sizes. It’s sewn with white and red Sashiko thread. Now it’s a lovely decorative table centre-piece all hand sewn onto medium weight 100% Indigo fabric.
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!
