A Sashiko-patchworked swatch from the live streaming last night. All of the process is shared online unedited. “Patching 2 pieces of fabric with Sashiko stitching.” It took about 70 minutes for me to complete. On top of the argument of either 70 minutes is not much or a lot, I feel the 70 minutes of talking to the fabric is somewhat laxury. ☆
Mindfulness. Meditation. It is quite challenging to “empty your mind”. However, it is relatively enjoyable to let myself dive into the fabric and only focus on stitching. It is Sashiko we adore. And, it makes me thing how difficult it is to price this process and result. (Sashiko was ordinary for the ordinary Japanese, so it is very difficult to price it, yet we have to do so to sustain the activity. If you were me, what is the pricing for the “society”?) ☆
昨晩の配信、ハギレのパッチワークをしてみました。編集なしの動画が残っています。「二枚のハギレを繋合わせて刺し子をする」。それだけのことに70分かかります。70分という時間が長いか短いか……というより、それだけの時間、一つの布と向き合えるということそのものが贅沢なように思うのです。

マインドフルネス。瞑想。「何も考えない」というのは難しいですが、布に没頭して針目をと向き合う時間というのは、それだけで愛おしいなぁと。そして、ふと思うのです。この手仕事に価格をつける作業は、とても難しいなぁと（それでも価格は付けなきゃなんですけれど。皆様ならいくらにしますか？）
