My friend introduced me to Sashiko and I would love to get into it it looks like a lot of fun!
I love sashiko! Last year, I saw a post on your Instagram of the kaguri-sashi and I was like… WHAT! So I got fancy rainbow sashiko floss and went to town. Now I have a fancy finish that looks like I’m next level fiber artist. I love the way you don’t have to stare at a screen or a paper pattern. You just jab that needle in through the pattern on the fabric and seeing the results appear so quickly is satisfying.
I shared this blog post with my local stitching club, so Austin, Texas will represent! Thank you for the opportunity!
Congratulations on the YouTube channel. I love Sashiko. However the couple of projects I have started are languishing as I feel there is an order to the stitching of the patterns that I have yet to master. My stitching is willy nilly but I feel like there is a methodology and purposeful order to the stitching. I’ll figure it out eventually. Slow stitching. Real slow stitching. Lol.
Just found you. Love your instagram inspiration!!
I used to do Sashiko when I was in high school. I love your website and would love to start again!
