. enjoying a variety of patterns is a great way to appreciate/celebrate Sashiko. when I have a specific design in my mind, I always wonder which pattern is the great idea to make it more beautiful & enjoyable. however, “the ordinary” is not always about the “result” - it is more about a process, and the process tends to be very repetitive and monotonous.  now available for purchasing at https://tokopedia.link/JpSEoSMGiob or simply DM us @mainmainbenang | WA chat 0818909157 #sashiko #sashikomending #sashikopatch #sashikodenim #sashikoembroidery #mainmainbenangstudio #mainmainbenangshop #mainmainbenang (at Mainmainbenang) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8xZmlrg0X/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the “Front - finished side” of Asanoha Sashiko that I introduced yesterday. It is all about preference again. ☆ I believe it is “actual piece (& a process of making)” that pass down the culture. However, in this society, the person with large voice gets more attention and sometimes it doesn’t go with the truth. My job is to bring up some of the Sashiko piece we are proud of to the surface of its movement. I even feel this is the reason why I decided to study in the US for college (It isn’t easy for a native Japanese to do so). Slowly, Upcyecle Stitches is selling our hand-stitched Sashiko fabric. Please check our website and/or Instagram @upcyclestitches. All hand-stitched with caring. I hope you can feel the power of it. (The fabric on the photo will be listed sometimes this weekend or next week.) ☆ 本当の意味での「残すこと」とは、心に響く作品（ものづくり）だと思っているのだけど、同時にそれは、とてつもなくギャンブル性が強いもので（見出されない場合もあって）、だからこそ「伝えること」が「残すこと」と同義かなと思ってしまったりもしています。声が大きい人が目立つこの世の中で、しっかり残すことは簡単なことじゃない。ま、結論として、どっちかだけじゃなくて、両方必要なのかもしれませんが。昨日の写真は裏面でした。今日は表面。たった一枚の布ですが物語があり、そこには暮らしという「文化」が色濃く残っていて。残したいのは刺し子ですが、伝えたいのは日本人的な「気の配り方や優しさ」なのかもしれません（まだイライラが残ってるのかなｗ。配信で聞いて頂き、ありがとうございました。） ☆ #Sashiko #Asanoha #SashikoSwatch #SashikoPatch #Handstitching #刺し子 #刺し布 #刺し子補修 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpRhNogD1M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wthuqpgllqq7

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 feel the 70 minutes of talking to the fabric is somewhat laxury. ☆ Mindfulness. Meditation. It is quite challenging to “empty your mind”. However, it is relatively enjoyable to let myself dive into the fabric and only focus on stitching. It is Sashiko we adore. And, it makes me thing how difficult it is to price this process and result. (Sashiko was ordinary for the ordinary Japanese, so it is very difficult to price it, yet we have to do so to sustain the activity. If you were me, what is the pricing for the “society”?) ☆ 昨晩の配信、ハギレのパッチワークをしてみました。編集なしの動画が残っています。「二枚のハギレを繋合わせて刺し子をする」。それだけのことに70分かかります。70分という時間が長いか短いか……というより、それだけの時間、一つの布と向き合えるということそのものが贅沢なように思うのです。 ☆ マインドフルネス。瞑想。「何も考えない」というのは難しいですが、布に没頭して針目をと向き合う時間というのは、それだけで愛おしいなぁと。そして、ふと思うのです。この手仕事に価格をつける作業は、とても難しいなぁと（それでも価格は付けなきゃなんですけれど。皆様ならいくらにしますか？） ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoSwatch #SashikoMending #Patchwork #SashikoPatch #刺し子 #パッチワーク #刺し子ハギレ #刺し子針 #刺し子配信 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUJhgJA7dF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gw3c8r7k8uwl
