You can't imagine what I'm learning from your Sashiko videos! Thank you!

I have made two of these and love them so much (they are great for cleaning my eye glasses!!) that I am making more of these.

[@thegreenwrapper]

Oh I’m so glad to hear that! We use them every day!😊

I just, today, bought a couple of yards of double gauze and can't wait to get started making some things. I love this idea of making useful items with some pretty to look at sashiko!! Thank you, thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for your lovely comments! These handkerchiefs are so soft and absorbent. I really love using them😊

Today I am making this and found that holding the needle was the more difficult part, but I am finally getting it!!! My stitches look better and I feel I can become more confident with time. This sure is very gratifying.

I’ve been thinking about doing a video of how to hold a needle but I’m not very confident of how I hold it either. I’m still learning it too. Some professional people have amazing skills of Unshin (a running stitch in the Sashiko style). I think you can find some videos of those people on KZbin in English.

I love these, thanks for sharing such a comprehensive tutorial. I have made a few hanafukin in the past, and always carry one in my bag to dry my hands. The more they are washed, the better they get!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you. Our family always carry this handkerchief too. It feels so soft and special😊❤️

Hi, I made this. I had never heard of double gauze fabric but our fabric store carried it. It turned out well - super absorbent. I'm planning on making some more and some kitchen towels. I'll stick to easy stitch patterns - I'm afraid that if the stitching is too elaborate, I'll hesitate to use these because they are too nice. 🙂

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you. It's so nice to hear that you have tried it! I also love the simple stitches. Happy stitching!

[@pbergstr1]

Another neat project! Thank you so much for posting these videos. The close-ups are very helpful. Another good source for sashiko supplies (if your local shops don't carry them) are Amazon and Etsy.

Thank you for watching and sharing the information for Sashiko supplies!

I have to see here in Switzerland where I could find it.

[@thegreenwrapper]

I hope you can find the material! It’s so soft and absorbent😊

What needles do you use?

[@thegreenwrapper]

This type of fabric is loosely woven and relatively easy to stitch through. So I think you can use most needles😊💕💕
