Stitch a Day 2017, Day 58

I didn't get too many stitches done today, so I thought I'd show how interesting this screen printed cotton looks close up. The print didn't take too well, and the dye is really splotchy and uneven as I didn't take time to scour the fabric before I dipped it in the indigo vat. I'm thinking about how I will stitch it. No idea at the minute.

This is a scrap in my daughter's discard pile of a failed screen print. With the failed bits cut away and tossed into the indigo vat it gives an interesting hand drawn area that contrasts with the sashiko inspired print and linear lines of the surrounding ikat cottons.
