{"product_id":"sashiko-tsumugi-sampler-coasters-charcoal-grey-from-emmacreation","title":"Sashiko Tsumugi Sampler Coasters Charcoal Grey from EmmaCreation","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive traditional sashiko coaster designs come preprinted on a single length of charcoal grey kofu-tsumugi cloth from Olympus, a yarn-dyed cotton woven with the subtle slub texture of traditional Japanese tsumugi. Sashiko is Japanese hand-stitching rooted in the mending traditions of rural Edo-period Japan, and this cloth pack gathers five small pieces of that tradition on one sheet, ready to stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designs are printed on the cloth in wash-out ink. Stitch over the printed lines, then wash the finished piece and the markings disappear, leaving accurate geometry with no drafting or transferring. The cloth arrives as one uncut 6in x 26.5in sheet: the maker stitches each design, then cuts the pieces apart and sews them into coasters. An instruction insert in English charts the stitching path for each design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a cloth pack only.

Shippo tsunagi (linked seven treasures) crosses interlocking circles into petal shapes and traditionally stands for harmony and connection. Asanoha (hemp leaf) radiates a six-pointed star from its center, a motif traditionally stitched for healthy growth. Seigaiha (blue ocean waves) layers overlapping arcs for calm and enduring good fortune. Higaki (cypress fence) builds an angular braid from short diagonal runs, and monyo (the Japanese word for pattern) turns a pair of offset squares against each other. Stitched in contrasting thread on the charcoal grey ground, the set reads as a matched collection while every coaster stays distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach coaster finishes at approximately 4in x 4in, and the five together make a matched set for the table. The same stitched squares also work as mug rugs, patchwork blocks, or small framed pieces, and a finished set makes a personal handmade gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e EmmaCreation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olympus, made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e SC-TC4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sashiko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charcoal grey (distributor colorway: TC-4 \"Purple\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCloth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarn-dyed kofu-tsumugi, 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCloth Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 6in x 26.5in, one uncut sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seigaiha, Monyo, Shippo Tsunagi, Asanoha, Higaki, preprinted in wash-out ink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 4in x 4in per coaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cloth and instruction insert; thread, needle, and thimble sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e English, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-printed cloth pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EmmaCreation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49979695726840,"sku":"SC-TC4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/SC-TC4.jpg?v=1783963135","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/sashiko-tsumugi-sampler-coasters-charcoal-grey-from-emmacreation","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
