If you tried it I think you would like it.Hiromihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936019717685985936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146578156908195606.post-79665994565837805222011-03-04T10:14:01.752-05:002011-03-04T10:14:01.752-05:00They are such beautiful dolls!

Your stitches could be a little shorter, but I think they are so even and beautiful!Hiromihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936019717685985936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146578156908195606.post-84402167915460009272011-03-04T08:49:14.221-05:002011-03-04T08:49:14.221-05:00Hi Marjorie,

Then layer batting and lining together. One of the purposes of Sashiko is reinforcing the fabric. In the old days, wives of poor farmers couldn't afford to buy new clothes. So they invented the way to repair and reinforce old clothes. The wonderful thing of it is that they made it beautifully.Hiromihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936019717685985936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146578156908195606.post-72361693781733176822011-03-04T07:30:41.319-05:002011-03-04T07:30:41.319-05:00O, what a beautiful dolls and Sashiko!

I like it a lot. I realize now that my frustration came from trying to "quilt" this pattern with the pearl cotton through batting and fabric! http://appliqueaddict.blogspot.com/2010/08/lis-insist-give-sashiko-try-its-so.html<br />http://appliqueaddict.blogspot.com/2010/08/east-meets-west.htmlMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426062040438565996noreply@blogger.com
