6/1.2023 - working on my ReFashion project - refashioning my great grandmother’s quilt top into a coat. But first, I’ll make one in linen to be sure I have the right pattern. I love Japanese pattern books.

sashiko stitch
Hello,April. Time goes by quickly. Spring has come at my hometown. Sakura are a special flower for Japanese.
let's get back to the today's topics. Today, I would like to introduce a new works.
I recently made a bag from an old stained jute bag, dyed with persimmon tannin and reinforced with many stitches. Sashiko is an old Japanese technique to strengthen cloth with many stitches. I used up the old jute bags without any scraps. It is made entirely from vegetable materials, so it go back to the soil.
This bag is hand quilted with cotton inside. The handles of this bag are stuffed with old cloth. All the cloth of this bag is recycled from very old items. It takes a very long time, but we have created a very beautiful, durable, and environmentally friendly bag.
See you later!
