Bird Woodlands Sashiko Kit by Hirvi

A thoughtful project for stitchers who appreciate nature-inspired design, simple materials, and the quiet pleasure of handwork

A complete sashiko kit designed to make the practice approachable and rewarding, whether you’re new to sashiko or returning to it as a familiar rhythm. The pattern is printed using water-soluble ink, so you can focus entirely on stitching—simply follow the lines, then rinse away the markings when you’re finished.

The design draws inspiration from a quiet woodland landscape, featuring animal forms and plant motifs that feel calm and contemplative. The included sashiko thread is 100% cotton in soft, grounded tones that echo the forest palette, paired with a supple cotton cloth that’s pleasant to stitch and easy to handle.

This is a satisfying, self-contained project that invites slow, attentive stitching and produces a finished piece well suited for framing, display, or further sewing.
