Why Do I make a Sashiko Fabric Mask // Sashiko Story Vol.6

I am a Sashiko artisan. I practice Sashiko with following our Japanese tradition. I made a fabric mask with Sashiko stitching. Here is "why" after learning from some professionals.
Fabric DIY Mask is better than Nothing (Not wearing anything). Please learn & follow the proper cleaning for the fabric mask.
The Fabric Mask is NOT a medical Solution. It will not replace the N95. At the same time, we do not need N95 when we are healthy. I decided to make this video after reading the CDC recommendation below.
Enjoy Sashiko.
Stay Home & Take care of your self.

We may have to wear a mask for a long while so why not make it beautiful with Sashiko

[@SashikoStory]

Hahaha. Yes, indeed :D

I need to work on enjoying the process more myself (also hello from the far off future of 2022). I often get so caught up in the result I want. I'm making an embroidery piece for a friend and I spent hours trying to get the design perfect and stressing a little about how it's going to look. It sometimes takes away the enjoyment. I've been doing more unplanned pieces as well, but I also enjoy planning it and tracing my drawing without having to think too much about where each stitch goes.

Hello from Jan 2022!
I think what you wrote here is what all of us have to go through, especially living in developed countries & culture. We are taught that the Result is very important. So, what we can do is to "acknowledge" as you do here. As long as we are mindful about it, we won't change the culture more than necessary, and enjoy the shift in culture. Thank you!
