I made this cute little sashiko bag using a kit that my brother and sister-in-law gave me last Christmas. I had never done this kind of embroidery before but it was a pleasant activity. I'd say fun, but come on.
The kit comes with thread and pre-printed fabric with dashed lines showing you where to stitch. (I found a kit online here.) You can choose to make either a mini tote or a half-apron. I already have a lot of aprons that I never use so I chose to make the tote.
