Basics of Sashiko 1 | Tools, Materials and Alternatives for Beginners

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Second Episode of Basics of Sashiko: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g16Yg4uEa7meaq8 Thank you. :)

[@ellebrown6560]

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.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Your appreciation means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy trying out the technique!

[@dawndubinka]

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.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you so much! So happy that it helps! Happy stitching!

[@winnepeterson6570]

It’s “by accident”, not “on accident”. 🙂

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I’ve been interested in sashiko for about 15 yrs now, and even took a class at a now-defunct fabric store in a quaint town about an hour away. In these particularly stressful times, hopefully learning about and practicing sashiko will give you a sense of peace. I’m technically still at the “learning about” stage. Now that I’m retired, I’ll have more time, after watching these videos, to get into the “practicing” stage.

[@NiccoletteR]

thank you young lady, im all the way over from, New Zealand , i like how you are starting me on the basics, thank you , we say, Car pie,{Thank you} not how it is spelled,

[@mariabota8301]

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

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Beautiful thoughts... 🤗

[@charmees6637]

I actually discovered this Shashiko sewing technique by accident. I’m loving it and am thinking of starting it up for myself. Love your tips

[@justplaintara9028]

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.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

What a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing it with me!

[@missworm]

That was very enjoyable. I know nothing about sashiko and I look forward to learning with you. Best wishes from England 🇬🇧

@XiaoxiaoYarn - greetings I have been blessed by your video appearing g in my feed. I have watched three of your presentations so far. Beautiful work, calming and very informative. I feel able to start Sashiko. I am even confident that smart projects could be incorporated into larger sewing projects. 🎉. I am totally impressed with your design book. By you sharing your knowledge, not only are others exposed to a creative technique, your are enriching people without leaving your personal space. May you be blessed with all the threads, needles & new creative designs.

I have just received my order of Shaskio needles and threads. I received 3 different types of thimbles. Do you have video explaining the different thimbles and their uses? You are helpful and delightful. I will be following your videos. Thank you!

Thank you for that helpful summary. Could you please add what markers you use for darker denim or thicker dark/black cotton? I find it extremely hard to get good markers, especially for curvy patterns and circles on darker denim.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, I've left the links in the description under the video. Hope it helps. :)

Thanks!

I am from the Philippines I like this craft in addition to my craft of crossstitch and crochet. My problem is where I am from I can not find the materials if your can help me on a suitable equivalent especially on the cloth. I want try your towel project with just 3 horizontal stitches. Thank you.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, you can usually find the links of supplies in the description under the video. :) If Amazon is not available, you can try any loosely woven cotton fabric, like muslin or recycle your old bed sheets. Happy stitching. :)

[@RobynHannamSkyWriter]

Su7ch a beautiful video style, like an art film.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you Robyn! I’m happy to hear that. :)

[@sherrydavis7463]

Hello Xiaoxiao, Thank you for creating your videos. I am learning a lot and will start creating. Do you have a brand of erasable pens that work best? So many choices and varied reviews on their quality. Thank you for your time. Sherry

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, feel free to check out the link to the heat-erasable pens in the description under the video. :)

I love your videos! I just noticed your cute house shoes - did you make them?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, thank you! Yes, I crocheted them. You can find some nice crochet slippers tutorials on KZbin. :) Good luck.

[@4Waridi]

I love your sketch book. Where can one find one like that?

[@MoxiKucing]

what kind of the erasable pens do you use? brand ?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi Moxi. You should be able to find the links to the pens in the description under the video.

[@mysticaltouch1859]

What a beautiful craft...can you tell me what is the white ink pen ? Thank you 😊

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, it's heat erasable pen. You can find the link in my description. Happy stitching. :)

[@Thenerdinyourclass]

Hello I was wondering if you have an alternative for the mini iron? It seems that the one linked isn’t available anymore. Thank you!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, I've left the new link in the video description. Hope it helps. :)

[@noopur1241]

Can we use embroidery thread too?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

If you are making decorative pieces, sure. But if you want to put on your garments for reenforcement purposes, I recommend you to use proper sashiko threads. They are more durable and breathable, also fast to dry. :) hope this helps.

[@ummesuffiyan3911]

Hello From karachi Pakistan know nothing about sasiko want to learn please guide me how to deal with this

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, thank you for your message! Happy to heat that you want to start sashiko. :) The three basics of sashiko videos on my channel should be a good introduction, otherwise, more videos on sashiko for beginners are coming. Stay tuned!

[@a234633]

So sashico is making a patch I thought you put the patch on then do the sashico pattern on to strength the mending

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, you can do it both ways depending on your project. :)

[@a234633]

@@XiaoxiaoYarn sounds good I will try both thanks for the video's and keeping a craft alive

[@kathleengay2539]

Where can I find the threads you use

Hi, you can find the links to all the supplies in the description under the video. Thank you!
