I received a lot of happy feedback for the Online Sashiko Class. This photo is from one of the students, with her stitching “Before & After” the Class. Since she had been following my voices (on SNS & Youtube), she knew what the Sashiko was before the class. Her goal was to make smaller & even stitches in a shorter time period (like we do). The “before” Sashiko has bit bigger stitches, and it looks like the results we can purchase as “a Sashiko kit” with pattern & stitches size pre-printed (She followed my videos so she did not purchase the Sashiko kit – she prepared the pattern by herself). There is nothing wrong with her “before” Sashiko, and both “Before & After” are beautiful. The point is that she can now “choose” the size of stitches, evenness of stitches, and the speed of stitching. That’s what I mean by “learning”, and a big reason I want people to learn how to use the thimble instead of deciding that they don’t need the thimble. ☆
One can, of course, choose “not to use” the thimble, but without an ability to do so, “not using” can be simply an excuse to not to learn (and possibly repainting the culture). If she decides to go back to the “Before-Class” Sashiko for any reasons, I am perfectly fine with her preference (because she can always come back to “After-Class” Sashiko). I hope it makes sense. Sashiko is simple, but not shallow & “that” easy (Sashiko is easy in comparison to other crafting). A big thanks to her who allow me to use her great achievement. The Sashiko Online Class is available with a special deal for the Stay-Home period (ending 6/30). Please check the detail from our profile link.

刺し子オンライン講習の生徒様からの写真。嬉しいですね〜。ずっと僕の言葉を読んでくれている人で、講習前の刺し子もとても素敵な刺し子です。それでも、「淳のように細かい針目はどうしたら……」と受講下さいました。何が嬉しいかって、指ぬきを使った運針を学んで頂くことで、「自分の好きな針目の大きさを、自分の好きな速さで楽しめること」 なんです。リズムを変えるだけで針目もスピードも変わりますから。その調整を繰り返していくと、「自分らしい針目」が出てきます。それが刺し子の醍醐味のような気がしているので、こうしてフィードバックを頂けると大変嬉しいです。大変な毎日ですが、これがあるから続けられます。さて、頑張るぞー！
