Another question I often receive is “How can you make your stitches so even?”. The answer is quite simple → “They are even because I do not try to make them even”. As long as one tries to be “perfect” or “precise” in stitching, it isn’t easy to have even stitches. A human cannot continue concentration for that long time. ☆
If you have taken my workshops/classes, you understand what I am talking about. I almost never tell to make stitches even. Instead, I repeat the word “rhythm”. It may (often) require my personal attention to get the appropriate “rhythm” in stitching. One can watch the tutorials on my Youtube channel, but our Online Sashiko Class with specific video & the personal attention on “Live Session” will complete the understanding of “rhythm”. Of course, your investment supports me in many aspects. ☆
The Online Class requires at least 3~4 hours to complete, possibly more than 10, or more hours. In this shutdown, I decided to offer the special store credit on the Online Class so a participant can receive up to 40% Discount in the retail value. The longer the shutdown continues, the more I feel that the Sashiko (or similar activity) is “essential” for us. It is not a time to judge the result. It is a time to appreciate the process, and moment, and care for others & oneself. The Sashiko with rhythm enable that to the maximum, I believe. The details can be found either on our profile, or in @upcyclestitches // Thank you for your caring. ☆

僕が住むPA州でも不要不急な外出以外は禁止というNYCに似た発令がありました。米国版郵便局のおかげ＆車社会のおかげで、喫緊の不便はないとは思うのですが、それでもやっぱり不安は募ります。郵便局の人とは仲良くしていて、とても緊張してお仕事をされています。通常の家族にとって、唯一接する外部の人間になるので（直接の配達は極限減らされています）。
日本国内はどうなんだろう？オンラインストアの宣伝をガンガンしても良いものだろうか？悩みつつも昼間はホームスクール、夜は通常仕事、んでもって家事と、予定していたウェブサイトの充実すらもできていない始末です。物流が止まれば、それは人間でいう血液を一度止めることになるので、経済的にとても大変な事です。今考えうる最適解を選ぶよう頑張るしかないですよね。
