SASHIKO GARDENS Bracelet Pattern
You are purchasing an odd count peyote digital pattern....NOT THE ITEMS IN THE PHOTO!!Knowledge of odd count peyote is needed as no instructions for this stitch are given within the pattern. I am in love with the Japanese Sashiko embroidery! Sashiko embroidery has been used in Japan for centuries, dating back to the Edo era of the 1600's to the 1800's. The Japanese word Sashiko means "little stabs" and refers to the small stitches used in this form of needlework. Back in the day, they stitcher would use dark blue fabric with white or off white thread. The patterns they created in Sashiko are stunning and were truly my inspiration for this design. I have taken those "little stabs" to my beading tray! I hope you like my SASHIKO GARDENS Bracelet!I have used Miyuki size 11/0 DELICA beads; 4lb Fire Line fishing line and a long beading needle to stitch with a toggle bar and ring for the closure.For the optional PICOT trim, I used size 15/0 Miyuki round seeds in OPAQUE RED, #15-408 and GALVA
