Sashiko, First Project Table Runner

Sashiko, this is a hand embroidery style from Japanese which I choose for my first project for make a table runner.  It is look simple, but beleive me, needs more patient from beginning. Di Jawa dulu ibuku nyebutnya sih 'jelujur'.  Basically, this stitch style used for sewing fabric easily in order to kip the sew in straight.

First, I get this sashiko when I was browsing for my hand embroidery project.  I like sashiko because of simple design but should have art, classy, cute, sometimes 'ethnic' is my priority to choose in fall in love with craft. This pattern of sashiko is difficult to download.  Almost of sashiko pattern is commercial.  For a women with low budget like me... free download is the best way.  I make table runner first.  Small table runner. Like this one, but with different pattern.  I have no blue fabric, but I like to use ballaco fabric.
