Set of 4 Handmade Sashiko fabric coasters – four seasons

Inspired by the beautiful traditional Japanese craft of Sashiko, and Japanese fabrics I have made this set of “four seasons” tea coasters.

The set is made using variated Sashiko cotton embroidery thread and Kofu Tsumgi 100% cotton fabric. This fabric is produced in Olympus Japan and is yarn dyed and woven with a back weft to produce a characterful speckled appearance, with a slightly slubby texture to resemble traditional handwoven Japanese silk.

Material and process;

The coasters are approximately 10cm X 10cm.

The design is Plum Blossom, Sakura, Chrysanthemum and Maple leaf, to represent the four seasons.. The motifs have been hand embroidered. The complimentary red 100% cotton backing has been machine sewn with interfacing to give structure and some heat protection.

Care; handwash.

Some variations can occur as these are handmade
