Here at Sakoran we're hard at work on a new project. We’re just in the development and experimental phase at the moment. Compared to our other ranges, this one is a little bit a different in concept and design. We think it will be easier and quicker for beginners to make and will appeal to all stitchcraft fans. One novelty is that for the first time we are using coloured Aida fabric (we are using peal green at the moment).
 
Above is a photo of some of the early stages. Can you guess what sort of design we are going to make? We'll show you more next week!

Our desginer Yoh Nye Sakurai is featured in Volume 22 of Japan's premier needlework magazine Stitch Idées. Produced by Nihon Vogue and packed full of interesting projects and inspiring craftwork, Stitch Idées comes out twice a year and is eagerly awaited by craft fans. We are very honoured that our designer and his work has been featured there.
