I really feel honored that you have chosen to share this tutorial with us. and I'm happy to hear that even though you live in North America, you have kept and shared your traditions. I too was raised that things could be mended in one way or another and this technique is most beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing. I am definately going to try this.

I found this video on accident. I do not sew, but now I am obsessed with learning sashiko! Your tutorials are calm and thorough which is both relaxing and useful for beginners like me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! ❤️ I hope I can find similar thread at a store like Joann, as there aren’t many sewing stores in Atlanta.

Sashiko-humble, sustainable, accessible, meditative, unwinding... just a few thoughts about a traditional mode of living peacefully with the Nature.

I ran across sashiko while reading and viewing about embroidery. I was taking a break today from building new fabrics from old clothing and scraps and I was delighted to learn from this video that sashiko had a history of being used to do what I'm doing now! This is such a beautiful form of needlework. I can't wait to add this in to my new fabric creations.
