Making things by hand obliges us to slow down and embrace the process, and traditional techniques connect us even more tangibly and mindfully with our own making and the makers who created long before us.
Combining dyeing and hand embroidery, both soothingly meditative crafts, this cushion cover is so rewarding to make. First, you’ll create a beautifully patterned fabric using itajime shibori, a form of resist dyeing using blocks and folding, then you’ll add a contemporary style of sashiko embroidery, for a statement textile with an artisan flair. Use 100% cotton fabric for the best results.
This pattern is designed by Lorna Slessor and was first published in Mollie Makes magazine issue 105.
