Pine needles have been considered lucky charms since ancient times, symbolizing eternal love and connection because they are always in pairs. As evergreens that retain their green color even in the dead of winter, they are also symbols of vitality, longevity, and prosperity. Why not try sashiko stitching on a pine needle design to create an original mat? The fabric is soft and easy to sew because it has been well-used. A plain fabric of the same material is included as a backing.
