#bastingthread

I share why it is so important to use the “Appropriate Sashiko Thread” in your Sashiko project. Thread does matter, and it is because of the purpose of stitching. If the purpose is different, then the Sashiko project requires different types of fabric. ☆ I have been longing to introduce this, but it took a lot longer to make a product page. Unlike the Japanese who made Boro a few hundreds years ago, we have choices to make our Sashiko easier & less stressful. One of the important processes in “Boro-to-be with the Sashiko project” is to secure the fabric for the patching. There are many ways to stabilize the fabric on the other fabric, but one of my favorites is the basting - with fine basting thread. ☆ This basting thread by Yokota has all of the characteristic that I need for the basting thread. It is now my “Carry-on” thread in my Sashiko stitching Box. ☆ #Sashiko #BastingThread #Yokota #YokotaThread #DarumaThread #ThreadforSashiko #WhiteThread #HandStitching #JapaneseFabric #SashiCo #UpcycleStitches https://www.instagram.com/p/B-auXy3pzf-/?igshid=6lpu6sfyqt2j

It was a long week. I started “working” after I kissed my daughter's forehead for good night. Although all of the workshops are cancelled, it is fortunate that I can still work from my house - a mail-order house (online store) is operational. (I follow all of the necessary precaution measures such as wiping the plastic surface with disinfectant wipe). ☆ I had been super busy with focusing on the workshop. I enjoyed so many great opportunities. At the same time, I couldn’t make time to focus on updating the website. After all, I am a small only-family-oriented business. ☆ The future updates include Sashiko thread, other thread, Made in Japan fabric, Sashiko stitched fabric, Boro to be pieces, and Sashiko items. I am well-aware that many experience financial instability now. So, please don’t feel pressured. We will overcome the crisis. I would like to keep the “ordinary in Sashiko” so that many can come back to Sashiko. If one is somewhat financially stable & in need of Sashiko supplies, please consider us as your supplier. Your choice will be a great help in sustaining the culture, especially when we all face difficulties. Thank you very much for following this account. I will keep sharing our Sashiko photos.
