This is a design that imitates Japanese Sashiko embroideries, which actually aren't 'embroideries' as in 'just decorative', but a way of mending and recycling torn clothes.
The background of the design imitates yarn-dyed indigo fabric, with the typical, slightly irregular, greenish-blue weave.

I have created an entire collection of Sashiko designs, including a 'plain' Indigo design (without the mock embroidery).
In case you would like to order swatches of those designs, the Sashiko design sampler is a very good alternative to 'regular' swatches - it has all my Sashiko designs on one yard of fabric.

If you would like to order this or any of the other designs in my store at a different scale or in different colors, please don't hesitate to send me a message - that's all it takes to make that happen at no additional costs.
