I also made this tea towel to practice Sashiko stitching. I made the design up myself based on a more tradition Sashiko design that looks like scallops {really not sure if that's the proper name for the design or not!}
Since this is not an all over design in the traditional Sashiko style, I could not stitch it all continuously, wich obviously shows on the back. But who cares about the back right?!
I love the simplicity of the red crochet thread against this linen. It almost makes me want to do the dishes....almost ;-)
What did you sew this weekend?
