Happy New Year! It is my pleasure to keep offering the best Sashiko supplies & materials. The first news for the new year is the annual event of “Fukubukuro”. The Fukubukuro will be available on January 2nd, around 8~9pm, EST in our webstore. I believe we do not have to worry about the unfortunate case of “Sold-Out”, but just in case, if you could leave a comment here which bag you would like to have, I can put yours aside. Then I will update the listing with available inventory. No commitment to purchase even if you leave the comment here. I just would like to know how many I can prepare. If the bag became sold-out within 24 hours, please let me know so that I can accommodate it for you. After Jan.3rd, I will add them back to the inventory. Please find more information in upcyclestitches.com

In 2021’s Fukubukuro, we have a theme for each bag. (A)-Keiko Fukubukuro is about “a lot of (a year amount) of thread”. As you know, the thread matters in Sashiko. So I want you to have enough thread with many colors for your great 2021. (B)-Azu Fukubukuro is about “an encouragement for you to start/continue Sashiko in 2021”. The Azu bag will have a good amount of fabric, thread, and enough supplies to prepare the fabric to start stitching (you may need to learn the basics if you are new to our Sashiko. We ask to learn “how to prepare the fabric mostly” (instead of offering the stitches-sized-line pre-printed fabric) – but no worry. I have tutorials already on Youtube).

I hope to meet you in one of the Online Class / (hopefully) in person workshop & I am looking forward to seeing you again in 2021.

Happy New Year! I am a beginner and ordering an Azu bag. I love aqua and blue colors and can’t wait to get started! Thank you for helping others discover Sashiko.
Thinking about getting an Azu bag with earth tones thread. 💚
Hi! Kelley Becker from Germany. I want the azu bag in Artisan size. I will order first thing on Jan 3rd. (I’m 6 hours ahead of PA)
Happy 2021! I would like to order an Azu Bag (B), as I am just beginning. The plan is to do repairs on my farm and hiking cloths which are mostly in earth tones. I love blues, greens, browns and flower colors of yellow/gold red/orange. I will leave this to your expertise and be excited for what you select.
👋🏼 明けましておめでとう‼️ I want to repair my grandmother’s jinbei the colour is white with blue chrysanthemums I think I may purchase the Azu bag for this project.
Happy New Year! I would like to order the small Keiko bag tomorrow. Any colors will be good.
I’m considering both bags! I definitely want to get the Azu bag. I either like earthy/green or ocean tones! I love the variegated threads I’ve gotten from you this far.
Happy 2021! I would like to get a azu artisan bag please! I love blues and purples! So excited to participate in this!
