Combining all the platform I work on – IG/FB, Youtube, GiveButter(Webinars), Patreon (Articles) and our business website @UpcycleStitches, I share pretty much everything about the Sashiko we practice, from Technique to Information perspective. Besides Patreon (which asks for support), everything is free. I even ask the audience to copy what…

I am enjoying the morning after a pretty intensive 3 days of teaching the Sashiko we practice. It was another great opportunity to share the Sashiko we practice, the Sashiko excluded from the mainstream. On the first day, many show their confusion, anxiety, and even frustration for the new items…

This is one typical “Sashiko Furoshiki” we can find in History. We make similar items by following a similar design. Have you ever wondered why they stitched Sashiko in this pattern? For the specific 4 corners? Why Geometric Patterns? I share the “Sashiko Stories” behind our Sashiko & Japanese Sashiko…

We often receive a question about what is our recommendation to start learning Sashiko. The honest answer is the [Core & Essence] (both Online & In-Person) as it hands the most important things in Sashiko to the participants. At the same time, I want “everyone” to learn Sashiko regardless of…

I appreciate kind comments on the previous Reel – and most importantly, thank you for your acknowledgement. When I share Stories, Videos, Tutorials, and “Non-Edit” stitching scenery, like the previous Reel, I receive comments thanking me for my kindness and generosity. Well, I really thank-back you for that, but the…

“How do you stitch so fast?”, “How come your stitches are so even?”, “It must have taken so many months to make the Jacket. I don’t have that much time”. ☆ I receive many questions – sometimes for advice, sometimes with disappointment of their giving up. Not so often, but…

The feedback, “It is fortunate to take your class”, is the best reward I can get in the workshop. I teach stitching, but I ask not to stitch. I teach how to speed up their stitching, but I ask them to slow down. One result of Sashiko is being mindful,…

It is pretty funny to understand what kind of person I am. As much as I teach “NOT TO BE” perfectionist in Sashiko, I am the perfectionist. Everything I do as “work (professional work with payment)” has to be well-prepared & organized. I knew it from previous workshops… but I…

The photo is a close-up of the Sashiko Jackets I shared in the interview with @textiletapes. Sashiko isn’t only in books or archives. As much as we learn from history, some of Sashiko aren’t history yet – it is still a series of stories by the people who practice Sashiko…
