End of the year… means Inventory… As Micheal Scott went to Jamaica to avoid it, it isn’t the best work possible… However, in Sashiko, we sometimes receive good returns. We stitch so much – for various purposes. Although the core message of our Sashiko is “Caring”, and we should know…

A Sashiko-patchworked swatch from the live streaming last night. All of the process is shared online unedited. “Patching 2 pieces of fabric with Sashiko stitching.” It took about 70 minutes for me to complete. On top of the argument of either 70 minutes is not much or a lot, I…

I introduced the special combination of valuable vintage fabric and Hitomezashi with the natural dye Sashiko thread. I found a photo of the bag we made in the past. Because of its value, the bag shocked me how Keiko could stitch on the vintage Oshima silk, but it is all…
