Upcycle! Hand-sewn Sashiko Dust Cloth
These steps for making a hand-sewn dust cloth are a perfect way to spend your relaxation time. Stitching meditatively by hand in a steady rhythm will relax your mood and create a dust cloth that makes cleaning a lot of fun.
Finished Size
Approx. 15 x 18 cm
Materials
* Used hand towel (Approx. 33 cm wide and 80 cm long)
* Thick Sashiko Thread or embroidery thread
* Basting thread
Precaution
* All measurements are approximate. Adjust the measurements according to your towel size.
* The stitch length should be 1 to 1.5 cm, depending on the thickness of the towel.
* Hide the thread knots at the beginning and the end of the stitches inside the layers of the towel.
Making
Pliez la longueur de la serviette en trois, comme indiqué sur le schéma, et bâtissez. (À l'aide du fil de bâti, bâtissez grossièrement les couches pour les maintenir en place.)
Use the longest Sashiko needle. The stitch length is about 1 to 1.5 cm and is inserted roughly. You can mark the design on the towel or stitch freely, referencing the pattern design.
Once stitching is complete, pull the basting thread out.
