We can do A LOT with our own hands – and all I am doing is to share the possibility. Sashiko isn’t about making “one perfect or Imperfect” stitches. When we focus on only the “result”, we won’t get this much stitching. Then, how? That’s what I teach, and the messages behind this account. It has been a difficult year. In fact, it is getting more and more difficult to speak up as I have more followers… yet, it is very true that I am here thanks to YOU who follow, read, listen to, and support me & other Sashiko artisans around me. Thank YOU, and I will be here in 2023 as well.

何が正解なのかはわかりません。そもそも正解なんてないと信じて刺し子をしているので、正解を求めてすらないのだろうと思います。英語圏ではフォロワーさんが増えれば増えるほど、情報発信をするのが辛くなっています。ただ、一つの確信を持って今後も続けていきます。「刺し子」は刺し子をしている人が真実だ…ということ。私たちが伝えた刺し子が世界中に飛び立っていきますように。そして、日本に戻ってきてくれますように。（日本国内で刺し子を伝えた方々は、もう既に飛び立っているくらいに上手なので…w）。

Soy muy feliz al haber encontrado este año el #sashiko me tiene enamorada. Saludos desde Bogotá, Colombia
Thank you for all the stories and lessons you’ve shared this year! Some lessons are immediately clear to me, others I have to think about before understanding, but I listen and learn and I’m grateful for your work and voice. Wishing you the best for 2023!
❤️thank you so much for sharing your story, in sight and your cultural. I’m very new to Sashiko and your group. I just joined last month. Slowly I am listening to the lectures and now listening two more times on lecture two. After I get a clear understand, I will begin my first Sashiko stitch from the kit I received. I’m looking forward to read and to share my own experience as we are stitches our path.
I’m sorry it is getting harder for you to speak out. I think you have an important perspective to share. It certainly has changed the way I view sashiko and the way that people present it.
🔥🔥🔥
I am grateful you are here and speaking out and appreciate that it is difficult for you. Make the decision that is right for you. Thank you for all your hard work and well thought out perspective.💟
