Natural Dye – one of my beloved, cherished, and treasured colors. It goes really well on Indigo fabric as well. When I share a Jacket with Natural Dye thread with Sashiko Stitching, I often say, “Try it under the SunLight. I will give you another face”. There is something I cannot explain (in a positive way) in Natural Dye.

It is rather difficult to handle, though. Well, once you get used to how to treat, then it isn’t so much trouble – but you cannot use Bleach to wash the Natural Dye items. It will be “white”. Also, it is recommended to use PH neutral detergent because some Natural Dye happens via oxidation. So much to remember & care? Yes, but “imagination” can help us to understand the issue. We just have to imagine how the People who actually had to stitch would wash/clean their fabric. Did they have a fancy washing machine with detergent containing some “Ultra Stain removal action”? Cheap Artificial Dye is an outcome of our suffering of troublesome natural dye – and it is everywhere with us benefiting from it. At the same time, when we appreciate Natural Dye, the imagination can be a key to take good care of the Stitching. This Jacket have many kinds of Indigo Dye Sashiko thread – both A Series and M series on @upcyclestitches

本日の配信、ご覧頂きありがとうございました。大変な一日になってしまった7月8日。その話を深く掘り下げるつもりはないけれど、でも触れないわけにはいけないっと、偶然にも少し重なってしまうテーマと一緒にお話をすることができました。少しでも誰かの力になることができていれば幸いです。

「刺し子の本質は祈り」だと思っています。明日を迎えることが奇跡に近い日々の中で、それでも生き抜く為の針仕事には、祈りが込められていないはずはなく、結果として刺し子には生も死も強く反映されてくるのだと思います。襤褸に畏れてしまうのも同様の理由です。刺し子をしていた人達は、死を隣に感じながら、それでも、いやだからこそ生の大切さを感じていたように思います。刺し子を英語で伝える週末を迎えながら、心よりご冥福をお祈りいたします。
