The Kasane (No knots finishing in Sashiko) have not come out after the project was completed. I am glad that I could confirm it with my students in the US, in English. Some Sashiko teachers may teach you “The Kasane” does not work… Well, it is not Kasane that makes…

You may be surprised, but I have never received a “structured” Sashiko Lesson. I just had many teachers (Sashiko artisans), and I learned mostly by just looking. It is (was) quite common in Japanese craftsmanship/artisanship. ☆ As I keep sharing in @Sashi.Co, my goal is to share the Sashiko we…

Dark Colored fabric (such as Indigo) + White Sashiko thread. This is the classic choice in enjoying Sashiko. Of course, it is my favorite. ☆ We have several kinds of white Sashiko thread available: One is original thread, and the other is bright thread. The biggest difference is whether the…

The county I live in Pennsylvania changed its Covid-19 phase to “Green”. Most of the businesses start reopening, and we are trying to find out what the “New normal” is going to be. ☆ It was (has been) such a challenging time for me and for everyone. I learned a…

We are forced to “stop”due to Covid-19. Although we are opening up soon, we need to learn from this. For me, like many others, it has been a challenging time. All of the plans are either canceled or postponed, and still unclear what/when I can restart. We have not given…
