- In order to understand Sashiko, getting familiar with “Zokin (雑巾)” is pretty important. I use Zokins in our ordinary, and I introduce how I make it & use Zokin in this video.
アメリカに移住しても掃除をする際には雑巾が必須です。雑巾の使い方&作り方を義務教育で学べる日本は素晴らしいなぁと思ったり(当時は嫌でしたが)。「雑巾はアート」と訳のわからないことになる前に、少しでも刺し子と雑巾の物語と本質を。(前編英語です)。
Zokin isn’t really a fancy word. I hope non-Japanese understand what Zokin can be for Japanese people, instead of romanticizing the word. As much as I speak up for the violence of “Cultural Repainting” done by someone who tries to get benefit out with no (small) knowledge & experience, I think it is our responsibility to share the “alive” information.
Sashiko & Boro are words with stories, not just marketing terms in trend.
*I am trying to approach “video making” to upload more contents by “voicing over” the video I film. Not great editing, but I hope this will improve my video editing skill as well.
Please find the links for information I mentioned in the video.

My mother used to stitch in a similar way in order to upcyle old stockings into dish washing clothes. Thank you.
I very much appreciate this type of video as well as your longer ones. It helps to have the Japanese words shown and explained like you did. It helps in the understanding of the changing use of the words. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the comment! Yes, I will do my best to keep making it. Live Streaming is much easier because I do not need to prepare - this takes 10x more time to prepare :D
You did great. Thank you for providing such an informative video. :)
Very nice. Thank you
Thank you!
Maravilhoso
Your new process for videoing works very well. Thank you for the explanation and demonstration.I really enjoyed learning about the ‘lifecycle’ of the cloth.
Excellent
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. This will make my old cleaning cloths so much better. You explained the technique very well.
I love your voice over. It is relaxing to watch while learning.
I will do more often (I will try my best)!
I am learning many helpful ways to re-purpose things, respect our limited resources here on earth, not thoughtlessly be wasteful, and you are helping me a lot with these ways. I respect you and thank you, brother. I ordered sashiko thread from your website, and can see I already hope to buy other colors. Many blessings to you.
Perfect!
Thank you.
I am excited about this video. Thank you for a new post.
Thank you for your patience!
I was going to make double sided reusable cloths with bed sheets that got ripped. Now I'm going to make Zonkin!
Enjoy! Thank you!
Thank you for this information!
So interesting! I think Sashiko stitching is so beautiful ! I would prefer to hand-stitch something that I planned to keep and enjoy. If I wanted to make strong rags, I think I'd use a sewing machine for them. I have some old 100% cotton bed sheets. Does anyone have an idea how to repurpose them?
