Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. I wish you many blessings and much happiness.

I thought of taking a day off today in sharing, too. Yet, as always, I started typing and here we go. In addition to that, I have received a photo of Keiko’s latest Jacket (she completes several jackets simultaneously). The beauty (blessings) of Hand-stitching for you.

Sashiko used to be my “choice”. Therefore, I kept running away from it in my youth. After so many years of struggle, Sashiko became a necessity for me to define who I am (not only what I do). Sashiko is probably a “choice” for most people on this planet. However, it was a form of stitching out of necessity, then transformed to a stitching of shame (humble) and pride (wish).
☆
It is a big pleasure for me to be able to keep sharing stories here. I believe, by learning the stories (history, mindset, and “whys”), the practice of Sashiko will be more fun & enjoyable. It isn’t just about making beautiful & unique patterns in stitching. Sashiko is more than “how it looks”.

クリスマス当日まで投稿しなくても……と我ながら苦笑いしつつ、でも、恵子さんから写真が送られてきたら、そりゃやっぱりご紹介はしたくなるわけで。(恵子さんは同時に何個もの制作をします。よって出来上がる時期は、一気に何着/何個かの完成品の写真が届きます。恵子さん曰く、”一つのをずーっとやるのは飽きる”。誰かの配信でも同じことを言ってるはずです)。

このジャケット。「あれ……どこかでみたことあるような?」と思われた方。大正解です。今年、結構力を入れた柄です。裏話があるのですが、少し長くなってしまうので、個人アカウント@sashiko_dad でご紹介できればと思っています。ここ数日、日本語での文章を書いているのですが、やっぱり日本語は良いなぁと。アホみたいに長い文章を書くのですが、実は「意図的に長くしている文章」なんです。意思伝達だけが目的であれば、短い文章が最適解であることには間違いありません。でも、意思伝達だけだとなんか物足りない……と僕は思うのです。答え見ながらパズルやるのは、完成は早いでしょうが、あまり好きじゃないんですよね(何の話だ?)。
