Do you know the Japanese New Year sale tradition of the Lucky Bag? You get a great value discounted selection of goodies, but you can't look inside the bag first - what you get is a surprise. Lucky bags may be themed by products (stationery, accessories, makeup etc.) and are sold by stores in the New Year sales. It seems like a nice idea to continue this a bit this year, into spring...

This is a sashiko lucky bag on the theme of 'snowdrops' which gives you a clue as to the products and colour themes of each bag - think sashiko, think snowdrop and early spring colours. Sashiko 'lucky bags' have least £20 standard retail value of goods with a 20% discount on each 'bag'. Each bag has an assortment of sashiko threads plus a precut 'fat quarter' (45 x 50cm) of Azumino fabric for you to mark with your own sashiko design.
 
Have fun!
