Using Sashiko thread and long needle, sew continuous, evenly spaced running stitches 1.5cm in from edge to form a border around the mat.
Sew all the straight lines of the Sashiko design using continuous evenly spaced running stitches. For curves, use a shorter needle and work just a few stitches at a time.
When all stitching is complete, soak fabric in water to wash away the marking lines. Leave to dry. Iron to finish.
