The first Sashiko in 6 days…? I cannot express how relaxed I felt while stitching. Although there are no scientific references, I can be certain that Sashiko rhythmical stitching is very good to calm down. An appropriate posture (so no body pain), hand-movement (so no need to focus the stitch size), an orchestra of silence and sounds of friction from thread & fabric, and its rhythm of stitching. An hour of stitching became a better relaxation than anything I remember recently. Before the crisis, I stitched pretty much everyday. After 5 days of adjusting to a new & temporary life-style, I realize how precious the ordinary is. Trust me. Stitching with emptying the brain is what we need now. ☆
This fabric will be a mask for me. I still don’t have the leisure to film myself, but I will take as many photos as possible to update the article. The article can be found from the link on our profile or a story archive. ☆ – – – ☆
約1週間ぶりの刺し子です。休校→商業施設休業→各々自宅で仕事、と毎日規制が変わる中で、妻の仕事の予定も慌ただしく変わる中、やっと今日、「混沌の中の繰り返し」が掴めて、1時間程刺し子をすることができました。マスクになる予定です。 ☆
まさかこういう形で配信を休止するとは思ってもみなかったのですが、落ち着いたら（あるいは混沌の中でも）必ず再開する予定です。それまでもう少し、お待ち頂ければ幸いです。日英と分けて配信をする余裕はないので、Youtubeで両方纏めてするかもです。またお知らせしますね〜！ ☆

Thanks so much again 🙏🏼 Your words and Sashiko stitching are very calming. May I ask, do you need to draw lines before stitching?
Bellísimo
Beautiful as always!! Happy that you are able to empty your mind of all the outside noise and stitch!! ❤️
So true “how precious the ordinary is”. Thank you.
There is some research about the benefit of handwork…somewhere💖

Where can I find pattern for sashiko please? Although I don’t have access to a printer at the moment. I don’t know where to start. But I’d like to teach the kids .. so they keep busy & all!!
It happened similar to me..it took me some daya toa djust to the new reality..not only at home.all the family together.kids activities indoors.etc.but mentally… I got back to my stitching just yesterday afyer 4 days of quarantine. It made me feel so good to be back at my stitching and learnign of sashiko. It makes me smile how some things can have no cultural boundaries❤️
Thank you! This is the first pattern I learned from you. Thank you for teaching and inspiring.
Ok your mash should have flat felled or French seams in order to be safer
Beautiful!! 😍
Love your posts and images of Sashiko. I’m going to try and teach myself some during this difficult time for us all. It is having a deeply unsettling effect on us all. I write for my living, but have it hard to lose myself in my novel in progress. I think sitting and doing some crafting will be a good way of relaxing and losing myself for a while. Thank you for sharing your skills 💙
This is absolutely stunning 👏🏼💙
