The timeless Hanabishi motif combines the beauty of a stylised four-petalled flower with the elegance of a traditional geometric design.
Pre-stencilled on traditional Japanese sarashi cotton, the printed markings disappear with the first wash. Wonderfully absorbent, practical and durable, this handmade placemat will soften beautifully with every use.
Our extensive range of single-coloured and variegated sashiko threads enables you to create many unique colour and design variations which can be used simply as designed as a placemat or or table runner, or you could use the design to create the perfect sized cushions, some unique wall art, a bag, incorporate in a quilt or a garment, eg a jacket.

Here at BeBe Bold, we stitch through both layers of fabric and then after washing you could finish your placemat by adding a fabric backing to give a bit more body to your placemat. The fabric you choose could be anything not too heavy, and we have an abundance of striped, floral and plain fabrics that would be perfect (you can see all of our fabrics here).
English instructions are included and we would suggest reading these before starting especially if you're new to sashiko stitching.
