Thank you for taking so much time to offer this learning opportunity. I am 70, and over a lifetime of sewing I appreciate how much easier it is to control and fine tune my stitching, when sewing by hand. Many blessings.

What a great project to practice the sashiko style running stitch?! I'm excited to turn some old towels and shirts into zokin! Thank you so much for making this condensed english video. You've inspired me and given me something to do with my idle hands.

Thank you for the comment. With limited time, I tend to make more videos in Japanese. However, it does NOT mean that I don't care the English viewers. It is simply more time consuming to do so in English :D Enjoy Sashiko & Zokin.

Thank you. Very interesting. I’ve always used old fabric cut into squares for cleaning cloths but never stitched them like this.

Thank you.

Thank you for the great tutorial, I really love that fabric has a different life and name as it ages and changes it's purpose.
