Japanese Rice Bag

Create your own komebukuro (traditional Japanese rice bags) with a modern twist! This pattern contains 5 sashiko designs ready to transfer onto fabric, plus complete instructions for sewing and assembling the bags. The patterns can be either hand-stitched or machine quilted. I recommend regular batting for detailed quilting and bag batting for extra sturdiness. You can also choose to hand-stitch the sashiko motifs for a more traditional look. The result is a set of versatile, quilted bags that blend Japanese heritage with modern quilting techniques. Perfect for gifting, storing treasures, or adding a handmade accent to your home. Suitable for confident beginners and experienced stitchers alike.
