Making

1
picture

Lay fabric on a hard, flat surface.
Cover with "Clover Chacopy", chalk side facing down on fabric.
Place pattern piece centrally on top with 1cm margin around all sides. Trace the design lines with a tracer.

With the pattern now transferred to the fabric,
stitch along the design lines using Sashiko Needles.

Tip; Work the straight lines first, using the longer Sashiko needle. Keep stitches even and avoid tension. Using the shorter Sashiko needle and working fewer stitches at a time, sew the curves and finer detail.

Leave a 1cm unembroidered margin along L and R sides, (see image), trim top and bottom raw edges to give a 15cm length, taking great care not to cut into embroidered areas.

Along L and R sides, fold the 1cm of plain fabric to wrong side followed by 1cm of embroidered fabric, making a double fold hem. Blind stitch with sewing thread.
