I very much appreciate a lot of feedback on the new Course on Domestika: Introduction to Japanese Sashiko. I am working on making Q&A for the registration process. For the enrollment, please check “Stories” or the link on Bio.

If you follow me for a while here, you may find this new course “inconsistent” to what I have been saying (speaking up) here. You may wonder why Domestika? You may have many questions coming up. So did I in the process. It wasn’t an easy decision for me to challenge this. It wasn’t probably an easy process for Domestika’s Great Team to work with me (as you know I can be quite “difficult” when it comes to Sashiko). I plan to share the stories behind the decision on our Official Website (https://upcyclestitches.com/). The link is on Story under “Domestika” Highlight.

In conclusion, I really wanted to end the very sad & painful process of Q&A, which I had had so many times in the last 5 years. Can you guess what was the question I struggled with? Don’t get me wrong. I did NOT struggle with the people who asked – I just didn’t like my answer & I didn’t like the fact I don’t have the answer they want & only available answer I had was painful.

The question is/was [What is your recommendation to start enjoying Sashiko in English? Books or Course?]. My answer was always [Unfortunately I don’t have any recommendation in English. Therefore, I feel the need to speak up this much here on SNS]. Yes, My existing Class/Workshop is my biggest recommendation – but it requires some “commitment” – not for someone who just wants to see what Sashiko is like. “No Recommendation on what I have spent my life on” is quite… sad.
☆
Now, with Domestika’s help, I have the answer to this “welcomed” question – My recommendation to learn the introduction of Sashiko is on Domestika! The course is always available on Domestika, and I have now the answer they expect. I am the same – nothing is different before & after.

「刺し子を学びたいのだけど英語でのお勧めは？」と頻繁に質問を頂きます。これまでは「英語でのお勧めはない。だからこうしてSNSで声を上げてる」と返事をしてきましたが、これが精神的にキツかった。自分が覚悟を決めたものにお勧めがない？日本語では沢山有るお勧めが言語が違うだけで？いつか解決しなきゃと思っていた課題への答えが、今回の講座です。ようやく刺し子に興味を持って下さったという嬉しい質問に、気持ちよく応えられます。

👏 Your explanation is perfect. It’s hard to summarize to a new and eager student some thing that is the substance of your entire life. Sashiko and the relationship you have with those who also practice it is so rich, so deep that it is difficult to recommend some book or class that would only touch the smallest aspect of Sashiko.
Just enrolled. Looking forward to immersive and addictive Sashiko practice. 🙏🏼 for sharing your knowledge.
wonderful! How to purchase the special supply package? @sashikostory ?
I just signed up for your Domestika course and look forward to learning about Sashiko. I know I’ll never become a master, but I appreciate it’s practical beauty and hope to incorporate new skills in my creative life. It is important to me that I learn traditional crafting skills from knowledgable people who are immersed in, and can communicate, the history and culture of what they do.
Gracias por haber tomado la decisión de ofrecer un curso a través de Domestika 🙏
初めまして。住んでいるオーストラリアでぼろの巾着を作って、刺し子をやってみたいと思い日本から材料を取り寄せたのはいいけど、どこからやっていいのか放置していたのですが、先日動画レッスンを知って即始めました😍楽しみです♪
