Our Sashiko Story to Your Sashiko Journey

atsushijp, 2019年2月20日

We say, “Sashiko is not about making one perfect stitch, it is about moving the needle as you feel, and it therefore, the stitches reflect who you are.” This small & fine Sashiko stitching makes me realize I prefer the stitches I can just let it run instead of “aiming” to make it as small as possible. Well, it is also important to get out from the comfortable zone. So here it is. I am in a process of learning and improving. Regardless, after 1 hour of stitching, I enjoy the stitching after all. There isn’t right or wrong in Sashiko, only “enjoyable” Sashiko. ☆
「針目はその人を映し出す」と常日頃思っていますが、やっぱり僕は「細かく刺そう」として細かく刺すのは苦手なようで(笑)気がついたら細かくなるのは全然問題ないのですが、そう思うと、「目的に従った針目じゃなくて、自然に運針した針目」が一番好きなんだろうなと思うのです。とはいえ、ずーっと「快適な場所」にいては成長しません。こういう細かい針目を続けることも大切だろうと思うのです。なーんて固いことは書きながら、1時間も運針すると針を抜くのを忘れる程には楽しめるんですけれどね。小さい柄も楽しいです。正解も間違いもない刺し子。みんな楽しめますように。

When we get a piece of beautiful & interesting vintage fabric, even if it is a small swatch, we keep them and try to patch and Sashiko. Simple running stitching can be a material of beautiful bag. 小さくても、お洒落な古布が手に入ったら、とりあえずパッチをして刺し子をしてみる。シンプルな線刺しがお洒落なバッグに変身です。 2017-09-03 09:19:07 Source

I realize the pain from Cultural Appropriation in Sashiko (I learned it is okay to say it hurts). However, I am NOT asking you to stop calling your stitching “Sashiko”. It is the opposite. I want you to call it “Sashiko” while trying to understand what Sashiko really is. It…

I am enjoying the afterglow of Sashiko Workshop. I always let my feelings align with the experience from the workshop before moving to the next action. It is an important process as I consider teaching as an “opportunity to pass it down”. Being serious & responsible for what I teach…

    These are reassuring words. My stitches are never very even or perfect when I work on my jeans. The process is peaceful & enjoyable. In the end the work has it’s own full effect, not just a collection of flawed stitches.

    @tbeckett Thank you for the comment. It is one of the message I would like to share throughout Sashiko. It isn’t about being “perfect” or even “Good”. The peaceful & enjoyable process is the core of Sashiko. I even feel Sashiko is the word for the process, not the result.
    Keep enjoying Sashiko!
