You can also make Hanafukin from used fabric: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDJnqdtnbuEnJo . If you have any questions, please leave a comment, I would be very happy to answer it. The links to the supplies used in this video are in the description. Happy stitching and stay creative. :)

The way you cut it is quite interesting

I love watching your videos. They are very grounding. They make me feel happy :-)

[@jacquelinestrand6283]

Thank you so much. I love the idea of making something you use frequently and adding hand sewn features to make it pretty. That is what attracts me to Japanese stitching like sashiko - and I am trying to learn it.❤️

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

I know this is unrelated, but can Sarashi be worn as a modern day bra?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi. Yes, sarashi can be wrapped around the body and used as bra. :)

Hello Xiao I have a question, in your wonderful I don't see at what point the wild edges of the fabric are sewn. Are they open? Thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi Yelile, thanks for your question. The sarashi fabric usually has selvages on both sides, so you don't need to sew them. If you are using other fabrics, you can check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDJnqdtnbuEnJo and you'll see how I prepare the wild edges. I wish you good luck with your future project! :)

[@bettybargain4324]

Lovely video. Is it easy to tell the wrong side from the right side of the fabric? How can you tell?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hey, thank you! check out the video at 02:03 . You can easily feel the difference when touch it, the right side is smoother. Have fun! :)

[@susanhart9923]

how much of a seam allowance are you using?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

1cm. :)

Hi Xiaoxiao, thank you so much for your videos. They are really lovely & easy to follow! Thanks to you i have just finished my first hana fukin. ^^ Could i ask you for advice? I am planning to make a handkerchief for my friend, however using 2 layers like Hana fukin is a bit heavy (to me) for a handkerchief. Should i use 1 layer of sarashi to make a handkerchief? What would you do?.. Thank you in advance

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi Trang, thank you so much for your message! I’m really happy that you are enjoying sashiko! :) I would say using two layers of sarashi would be ideal, because it hides the extra thread. One layer may make the hanafukin too fragile. If you use sarashi with sashiko thread your hanafukin should turn out softer and lighter after a couple of washes. And the more you use and wash it the nicer it feels. Another suggestion I can give you is: I sometimes make quarter sized hanafukin for myself and my friends, I found they are practical, because they don’t take much space in a small purse. I would also put their initial on it if it’s a gift. :) if you check out my community posts or Instagram, you should be able to find these mini hanafukins. :) hope I answered your question. Have fun. 🤩
