Getting Started with Sashiko Slow Stitching

[@Auntie7024]

Thank you, Emma. This was a lovely video of Sashiko stitching. I enjoyed seeing your mother's projects, as well. I will have to give it a go. ❤😊

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonzotoff3975]

I like that it's a simple stitch and that there are dots and lines to keep your stitches even. It would make a great "in-between" project that I could pick up and put down again without a lot of thought. Time to go and do some more research on kits and patterns. Thanks Emma!!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes absolutely! It’s the perfect pick up and put down type of project. Thank you Sharon 🌸

Thank you! I’d love to go one day 😊🌸

[@missyhorvath235]

Thanks for sharing your Mom with us Emma - please bring her on again sometime! Hugs!!!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I will do! Thank you!🤗

[@susanforsberg2547]

I have done tens of thousands of Sashiko stitches in the past two decades and I prefer the leather thimble as the needle can slide off the metal one and finding the sweet spot in the leather thimble the needle finds it’s own way and it’s soft in the hand as it is comfortable🥰

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Great tip! I will give it a try because you are right about it slipping off. Thank you

[@susanwilliams2506]

Oh Emma wat beautiful work you and your mom have done . I've did this ages and ages ago and haven't picked it up since . Right now I have 5-6 EPP projects on the go so really don't time for this right now . But didn't realize wat beautiful work it is . Good luck on all your beautiful works and see you next time . Take care .

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thanks so much Susan! Enjoy working on your lovely projects 🤗

[@jacquelineknox1977]

So lovely to see your Mum Emma and her beautiful jacket decorated with the Sashiko stitches. I have a kit that I must do as I like the idea of the simplicity of the stitches and being able to pick it up and put it down. Thank you for such an entertaining and informative video. xx

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you Jacqueline, it’s the perfect pick up and put down type of project but it’s also very addictive!😊🌸

[@rosechernick8063]

You and your Mom are very talented! I loved all of your Mom’s work- just gorgeous!!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much! She is really talented

[@martasarber7133]

Love your Mom's jacket. So lovely

[@gracepatane9384]

I love doing Sashiko stitch too! I find it very relaxing. I try to cut myself off from everything else - no t.v. or radio, cellphone put away, so there are no interruptions!. Just peace & quiet, & getting lost in the stitches! Nice for you to schedule a visit with your Mom - she has lots of pretty things. Can’t wait to see her wall hanging!

Thank YOU Emma for another wonderful video. Your mum seems lovely. How lucky you are to be able to share a love of stitching with her. Her jacket is sensational and I really love the pale pink one too.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much Wendy! So glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@anitaznoy2807]

Great that you have your parents and know where you get your creative skills from. Enjoyed this very much

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you for watching!

[@jacquelinestrand6283]

Oh i love this video on sashiko. This is something i am very interested in and I have been reading about it and gathering my materials to start a piece. I also very much enjoyed seeing your mother and the pieces she has done. And finally, I really liked hearing you discuss the aspects of this craft that you love. I am afraid I am going to have struggles with the thimble also so am prepared to work with it. Thank you,❤️🌷

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I’m so glad you liked the video Jacqueline, that really means a lot to me. I’m sure you will love sashiko when you get started, it’s so relaxing. Take care 🌸

[@WhereWhoMe]

I had someone mention this craft to me. All of a sudden, I really want to make some coasters to test it out. For now, it will be another item added to my 'one of these days' list. I just need to reorganize everything and figure out what I have where before I jump into anything else. I guess it would be helpful or good if I can finish up some of the other projects I have. :P

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes, I’m guilty of starting too many things so good idea to get on top of projects first 😊

[@julias.8236]

If you are looking for more inspiration for sashiko, I love watching xiaoxiao yarn She also has a video for making your own palm thimble from an old jeans. Happy stitching!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I'll check it out!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Love the Sashiko projects your Mom stitched. I took a class many years ago, but was unable to find anymore information on it. Thanks for sharing this information.

You are so welcome, I’m glad it was useful. Thanks for watching 😊🌸

[@maryb164]

Lovely update and stitching examples Emma. It’s inspired me to look for a kit. Loved your Mum work, particularly the flower design. I bet I’m not the only one who spied your Mum’s pouch before she mentioned you’d made it, it has your signature all over it 😊

[@Texasmidwife]

Thank you for sharing your mom with us. I lost my mom a few years ago. Watching your mom stitch and share her enthusiasm made my Mother’s Day less lonely. I just ordered a Great Wave 🌊 panel to work. I love your channel, thank you for all the work you put into it. 🌸

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh I am so sorry to hear you lost your mum. Sending you big hugs. Enjoy stitching the wave, I’m sure you’ll love it. Take care 🌸

[@zingara76]

Thank you for the explanation. I just recently got into it, and I been practicing at home with some kitchen racks, but eventually I want to do big protects like the ones your mom make.

[@MomONineAZ]

I've been really interested in Sashiko for awhile now. I've only seen it with the Indigo fabrics, and the other colors are very appealing to me. Really happy to see the links, and also the information on translating the Japanese directions, as that is really helpful. Love this video.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear the video was useful! Happy stitching 🧵

Thelma writes: Hello Emma and greetings from NZ. Emma, I just want to say how much I really enjoyed and appreciated you bringing in Sashiko Stitching which I love very much. You have my full support Emma on embarking to another introduction of interest/hobby that might also be an interest to many. It is just a wonderful way of calm and peaceful stitching, and also I find it to be very therapeutic, just like what your Mum said. Sashiko pre printed fabric set is very pricey here, so, for simple small project I make my own pattern grid and use DMC floss. The finished project looks as good and lovely as. Your Mum's Sashiko project looks beautiful and she is a lovely Mum. Thank you Emma for sharing and look forward to seeing more of your Sashiko Stitching plus others.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Thelma, it’s really interesting to hear how you make yours. Take care and thanks for watching 🌸

Hi Emma, I have done sashiko or rather tried to do it, I bought some stencils and a book with patterns but still have not done anything with them, you have given me the push to have a go. Your Mum's jacket is gorgeous. You are both very talented. Thank you so much for sharing.x

[@redeemedvintageseamstress4728]

Oh how pretty! The first time I saw Sashiko was a couple of months ago. I mentioned it to a friend who also loved it, and wouldn't you know, in a couple weeks she was going to visit her daughter that lives in Japan. She offered to look for supplies for both of us. Yay! I haven't had a chance to sit down and try it yet, but I'm so anxious! It's so pretty! ❤😊❤

I wanted to share with you something about your thimble. I remember seeing someone who made one and it fit in her palm. So I searched KZbin “Sashiko thimble” and there are a few videos that came up but Xiaoxiao Yarn might have an idea that would be good for you! Hope this helps.😊

Thanks for sharing sashiko always wanted to try this I like the projects your mom is doing and adding to a garment don’t know if I could get used of the way to wear the thimble that way seems awkward from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you! 😊

[@wilddogafricaoverland]

I love that ya mum is also a serial-project person! I’m new to crochet and newer to quilting but I promised myself from day one that I’d do one project at a time - you referenced projects ‘weighing on your mind’ and I don’t enjoy that. I’m sooooo slow with my embroidery but I’m very attracted to the Japanese art. Lovely video thank you

[@melaniewells4855]

Could you please give me the title of the book you recommend as I would like to look out for it in Canada. Beautiful projects.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

It’s called colourful sashiko

[@donnawilson7091]

The standard indigo fabric kits have a piece of fabric that is double the size of the design. Is that other half of fabric intended to use double when you stitch?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

It says on Japan crafts website that you can use it to stitch double or use it to cover the back when you’ve finished

[@carolharper268]

This was lovely thank you, where do you get your supplies from. ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you! From Japan Crafts, I left a link in the description 😊

Thank you for the wonderful look into the world of Sashiko !!! I am interested in attempting this new technique !! It is quite a beautiful stitch !!!

I have seen videos of how to make your own sashiko thimble with a covered button kit. Choose your size, but a larger one may make it easier to find that sweet spot. Nice video!!

[@jayneterry8701]

Hi Emma, I recently repaired some jeans of my sisters and I thought they would look nice with the sashiko on the patches. Ive learned the weight of thread is very high, for strength. I also wondered if it was ever stitched on a hoop? Ty to your Mom sharing her projects with us.👍 My favorite was the jacket. 💗🇨🇦

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you so much Jayne. As far as I’m aware it’s usually done without a hoop 😊🌸

[@malissawillden4585]

and yet, if you choose to use a hoop, then it is. best to be sure the entire design fits within the hoop's perimeter as you want to sashiko from one edge of its design all the way across to the other edge. & to finish all those lines on whole of cloth before beginning the next line stitch. might also be helpful to pre-stitch a sashiko perimeter ringing your fabric piece to remind you to end each line of stitching 1/8" -1/4" short of it. This should work well for those who need to use a standing hoop of any sort. be aware that the running stitch will not be able to run like Emma as you lose the ability to bunch the fabric while working it, but may run the stitching in the manner of handquilters which generally uses quilting frames. surely you-tube videos available to follow quilting techniques.

[@WightNanna]

Hi Emma, try a leather sashiko thimble, I think it may he!p you.

[@tangerinejukebox]

I love your Sakura design - and it's extra sweet on that pale pink fabric. I made a leather thimble based on where I could see the needle dots in my palm, as I also couldn't get along with the metal one. (I can send you one if you like, I make them with offcuts of colourful paint-marbled leather, so they're just pretty too!) A little tip for the sashiko thread; There's no need to bobbinate it. When you open a new package, you'll notice a single tie on it. Cut all of the strands exactly where that tie is, then slide one end into the paper sleeve. Braid or slip knot it, and it'll be easy to slide one strand out from the top when you need it. It's the perfect (aka the recommended) length of thread to use, and it keeps your label with it so you know which colour and brand you used. :)

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

That’s a great tip, thank you

[@AM-xo7lr]

Hi Emma, just a heads up that this form of stitching is pronounced 'sashko' (drop that 'i', it's never used), and I have a tip for you for getting a really crisp circular coaster: put a circle of cardboard against the inside of your fabric piece, leaving your chosen seam allowance. Place running stitches around the edge of your piece and gather them tight to pull the fabric in against the cardboard, then press in place using your iron and damp cloth. Remove the card and do the same with any lining or reverse side fabric. This leaves you with two perfect pressed circles that can be stitched together, and avoids the difficulty of having to turn the piece right-side out and wrangle the seams into a circle.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you, great tips. I will do that for the circle next time for sure. I’m definitely not pronouncing it correctly although I tried, but I took it from this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpCvhZd3lKl4eq8si=UoUgOG4VF9u4cc8b in which he does pronounce the i. But maybe there are different pronunciations in different regions of Japan? Thanks so much for watching 🌸

[@peppapigspancake]

Hi Emma I’m a native Japanese speaker and I found your pronunciation Sashiko sounds perfect❤

[@sokeritahra]

​@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox he's saying it more like SA-shi-ko than sa-SHEE-ko. English speakers tend to stress wrong syllables and make short vowels into long ones or vice versa. The difference between short and long vowel sounds can change the meaning of the word in Japanese. But I don't think that has happened in this case and everyone understands you anyway, so it's ok. And I think it's commendable to try to learn from a native speaker, so good job! I'm not a native Japanese speaker so it's not really my place to judge, I just find the subject fascinating 😅 Anyway, sashiko is a beautiful technique and I would love to try it out, too!

[@paulavandieden8609]

I love sashiko, Emma, a nice relaxing video. If you have some Australian subscribers who aren't aware of them, Indigo Niche has lots of sashiko and boro panels, kits and bits and pieces. Not sponsored, just love them. Right, stitching awaits, enjoy your day.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

[@tinkerbell9399]

Hi Emma. Loving the look of Shasiko ! Have seen this popping up on Pinterest, and would love to give it a go. Will be checking out the link to the shop. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from a grey, wet Essex! Perfect weather for crafting ❤️

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

So glad you enjoyed it! Definitely perfect crafting weather here too today 🌸

[@craftdipper]

Oooooh, Emma! I LOVE the look of Sashiko and have been dying to do some for aaages😅 The furthest I've got is to order some sarashi fabric - the traditional fabric used to make cloths that would have been used in the kitchen in Japan. The stitching helps to strengthen the fabric and make it last long. My dream is to stitch a set of little guest hand towels for my downstairs WC. Seeing your and your mum's beautiful work inspires me to go ahead and get the thread and get started. I would have to mark my pattern on by hand though, as my fabric is plain. Yikes, that will be time-consuming, but I think I will enjoy it. In the meantime, I might buy a kit with the pattern already printed to get me started. I love that cherry blossom design that both you and your mum have done. I also like the pattern that's made up of the interlocking circles - have you seen that one? Meanwhile, my QAYG hexagons continue to grow in number, lol. 😂 So many lovely projects to make! 😮❤ Thanks for this lovely video. Nice to meet your mum too. You are both so talented😍 Has your dad done any more patchwork since we saw him? ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes I’ve seen that pattern, it’s lovely! There are so so many lovely patterns I want to try, it’s hard to choose what to do next! What a lovely idea to make guest towels, I think that will be worth all the effort. My dad has made a small quilt all by himself! Will hopefully be able to show it in the next video 😊🌸
