SASHIKO REVISITED

A little while ago I dabbled in Sashiko embroidery.  I stitched about a metre of fabric (a feat in itself) with the intent of making Japanese Sword Bags for a sword collector friend.  Well, I've finally completed that task and here they are. . . . .

Each bag is lined with Japanese cotton.  A tie of the same fabric was added.

Here are the two of them all wrapped up with the swords inside.
