Sashiko Cloth Kenzakura

Settle in with your favourite sashiko thread and enjoy a little time stitching Kenzakura. Designed by Japanese textile artist Hitomi Fujita for QH Textiles, this traditional design is hand-printed onto hand-dyed navy cotton, ready for you to bring it to life one stitch at a time.

There’s no tracing to do—simply stitch over the printed pattern. The water-soluble guide lines wash away with water once your stitching is complete, leaving your handwork to shine. Full English instructions are included to help you along the way, whether you’re new to sashiko or already love its gentle rhythm.

Enjoy the finished design as a sampler, frame it as textile art, or make it part of a cushion, wall hanging or bag. It’s also a lovely starting point for sewing and quilting projects, decorative embroidery or practising the stitches you’d like to use in visible mending.
