Zokin is a very familiar item for Japanese household.
We use them for wiping dining tables and kitchen surfaces (technically speaking, they are called Dai-Fukin when they are used for those places) and floors.
As you can throw them into a washing machine and wash them clean, you can use them many many times.
In this video, I will make Zokin using old tea towels.
Those cleaning cloths are often made from worn out towels so that you can still keep using them but for different purposes.
By stitching layers of worn out fabric together, you can strengthen them and extend their lives.
Originally this was done more for economic reasons but it's also useful to reduce waste by repurposing old items and using reusable cleaning cloths instead of disposable ones.
I like add some colourful stitches when I give them more strength. Even if they have some holes and stains, they will look something new!
If you have worn out materials, please try it!
