Description

Always wanted toperform your own boro-style repairs on those old jeans, but didn’t know where to start? These Olympus printed sashikostrips are perfect!

Super simple to use: just cut, stitch and patch. Each strip hassix different patterns printed across the Sakizome Momen fabric which takes away much of the hassle of having to mark up denim with detailed sashiko patterns. The pencil-marked patterns will fade out gradually when washed. You can cut the pieces to whatever size you like.

Patterns: yokogushi (horizontal rows), shippou (seven treasures), kakinohanazashi (persimmon flower stitch), karakusa (scrolling vine), asanoha (hemp leaf) and tatewaku (rising steam).
