I've got hours and HOURS of lots of fun machine AND hand embroidery in on this piece - but I've worn it and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My initial try at Sashiko stitching - and I'm really having fun. Anyway... I just posted Part 1 of a 3 Part Youtube Series of videos on the process (and several RE-Do's!). Enjoy... and this could be a topic I could answer more questions on at our class FREE to ALL MEMBERS July 23.
