I bought a sashiko book a year ago. Flipped through, put it away; flipped through, put it away; thought about giving it to my sister, put it away. Now that I have a much better grasp on the technique, I can see sashiko projects in my future. Thank you for the confidence boost and the fabulous tips and tricks.
I totally enjoyed watching this and the pace she went was ideal, so I didn't have to rewind. This was GREAT! So glad I ran across this before starting my project.
Brought back some happy memories of a class I did with Susan some time ago! I still have the drawstring bag I made and use it regularly- which proves how well sashiko lasts. Thank you
My one negative view is I wish the camera remained on the activity throughout instead ofcontinously switching to the speakers. I'm a beginner and just as I'm focusing and trying to understand what I'm seeing the camera moves onto Susan and the other lady. Grrrr!
Thanks for all the kind comments! Re the camera shots, actually it was recorded with two cameras running all the time. One overhead and one in front, then it was edited together afterwards. I didn't get any say in the editing, unfortunately, otherwise I would have had more and longer 'hand shots' rather than face on! We are thinking about making some more tutorials, so I'll read through your comments and try to get them taken onboard when we do.
I've been hand sewing for about 4 decades and I've always done it by doing several stitches at once, then pulling the needle-pushing the fabric to get the thread through. I never knew that was an actual technique, just always thought I was in a hurry to get sewing done lol. I'm just getting into making my own clothes now and I'm very excited to look at including this as part of personalising my work. Thank you.
A wet sheet bend that is pulled rock hard? Depends on the rope. In that situation I would probably use two bowlines. The bowline can always be untied easily. But it depends on the situation. A bowline could untie itself when the tension in the line varies a lot. Or use a half hitch on the bitter end of the bowline to prevent that from happening.
Oh how I wish I’d seen this video when I taught myself sashiko a bit over 5 years ago. I learned so many tips and tricks and now I’m inspired now to graduate from using pre-printed fabric to drawing my own designs. I especially appreciated how you explained the order of stitching, which I’ve never been able to get right. Thank you so much!!
Wonderful demonstration! This is a new concept for me. I’m planning to patch some jeans-which has suddenly become fashionable! I love the idea of strengthening as well as embellishing the design elements, using sashiko! Large patches on jeans pucker and don’t hold up over time. So this is also very practical. Thank you so much! I learned so much in such a short demonstration. Well done!
Thank you - this was totally awesome & very inspiring!! Now, I will definitely look into getting all the necessary supplies to try this sewing technique!!
New and discovering this stitching process and wanted to add in my learning, I saw somewhere that the shorter needles are ideal for curved stitches! Thought that was interesting!!! Cheers!
Thank you so very much for all the information! I’m brand new to Sashiko and found this so informative! May I suggest adding links to online purchases for the threads and needles? That would be even better ❤️
My first sashiko project was using canvas and multicolor yarn for the outside of a pen/brush roll and I absolutely love it. Having the grey background with the multicolor yarn really makes it pop for an art tool and I always get compliments whenever I pull it out in front of new people!
Sa shi ko Sash ko both different. Sashiko embroidery has been used in Japan for centuries, dating back to the Edo era of the 1600s to the 1800s. The Japanese word sashiko means "little stabs" and refers to the small stitches used in this form of needlework. This style of embroidery and the "sashiko stitch" was used to reinforce or repair worn fabric or tears with patches, making the darned piece ultimately stronger and warmer.
The weavers knot I learned is a slip knot on the new thread and put the old thread into the loop of the slip knot. Position the loop where you want the knot and close the loop and pull hard to flip the old thread. It’s a tiny knot that you can undo. To undo, just pull on the old thread to undo the flip and slide the knot off the thread.
Thank you for the order of stitching and the thread keeping. I want to learn sashiko for mending denim. I'm thinking the stitches will have to longer bc the denim weave is so thick. I'd also like to know if the sashiko will help make a thinner patch cloth stand up to the wear and tear that denim takes.
I’m trying to decide how to move forward with finishing my first grandchild’s baby quilt. I’m torn between the traditional Amish style small rocking stitch, or perhaps going with a larger stitch. I’m having a hard time with the tiny needle and thimble to spoon rocking technique. My underneath stitches are much smaller then my top stitches. Maybe I should try larger stitches.
Wonderful tutorial, it is close to Sindhi, Baluchi and Bengali stitches, they too use running stitch and backstich for their pattern. Can you please tell me what thread and needle is used for shashico embroidery
I would really like to try this on my grand daughters jean jacket. Just using the cream or white. It was amazingly informative, thank you. Do you think it could be done on denim ? I think it would be a fantastic way to bring old and new together.
The instructor doesn't realize her method of instruction requires additional visual aid inserts. No way are those faint lines sufficiently visible for small screen viewers. This student prefers the cameraman to focus on the needlework rather than the performers' beautiful faces.
I tried to follow this and then determined that I would like to see her draw the remainder of the design. Where are her landmarks for the outside zigzagging? What determined her points?
Watching for the second time. I know its not traditional but for demonstration purposes it would have been easier for us to see on any color other than black!
Hi! We appreciate your note, we did try to show this in a traditional format, although directions and guidance for these projects are shown in clear illustrations within the book which may be easier to view. Thanks!

That braid trick! Wow, genius. Worth watching for that tip alone. Fantastic video.

Just about all camera men do that - self filmed usually keep it still. Very good tutorial.
It may be helpful if you watched it several times. It is a great tutorial.
I totally agree. Some videographers have no understanding of best way to film techniques, especially hand work.
Yes it’s a bit jarring to have so many flip-flops. 😢
Cameraman trying to please the performers by filming their beautiful faces and coiffed hairstyles?
Thanks for all the kind comments!

So wonderful to have these tutorials to look back on when you are ready to start a new project.
This is such a well articulated tutorial. Great work!
Hi, the knot at 38 minutes is a sheet bend. A perfectly normal sailors knot. What IS amazing is that you tie it in such short ends.
Yes, if you're a sailor, you'd call it a sheet bend, but it is also known as a weaver's knot, for the same purpose of joining two lengths of thread.
Tysm, as now for sure I can find it in my knot book. How is this knot for being able to untie when wet? All my lines are the best quality.

If you care to do videos I think they are very needed.
Do you start the spiral patterns from the center or outward in?
This was extremely helpful to watch and I am anxious to try Sashiko!
I love the fact that they were not trying to sell you anything but I would buy a Sachiko kit if they sell it.
I've been enjoying observing this technique and the results of the process, thank you for sharing, this is a project I would enjoy doing
I had never heard of this technique. It satifies the math monster in me. I can't be the only person who saw this pattern and thought Spiderman
Brilliant. I love the weaver’s knot. Wow! Thank you!

What a marvelous tutorial! I feel like I'm ready to give this a try. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, this is great. Love all the tips and tricks too. I love the look of sashiko, now I feel confident enough to give it a go. 🙂
Thank you - this was totally awesome & very inspiring!! Now, I will definitely look into getting all the necessary supplies to try this sewing technique!!
Wonderful video. Thank you for such clear and concise instructions. Cant wait to get started.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. She made it look so easy, which I know it isn't but I do think it's doable.
This is an amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Wonderful tutorial. I’ve have been doing sashiko for years and you have just taught me many tips I didn’t know about. Thank you so very much.
Wow! This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Stephanie from California
Wonderful piece and fantastic instructions. Thank you so much.
What a treasure trove of tips. And so eloquently communicated. Thank you my dears for this wonderfully presented video
Beautiful. So interesting. First time seeing this technique. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try this.
This has inspired me to use similar patterns in my quilting. I cannot wait to adapt this to my quilts!! Thank you very much!!
Amazingly a lovely technique to work with
Fabulous instructions❣️
詳しい説明で好感が持てますね。(一つ難点を上げれば、オープニングの音楽が中国風であること。)
Whoops🤣
(Oops!)
Very interesting needlework; I want to try this soon! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful and informative video. Learned a lot. Thank you much.

Just do an internet search for the keywords, Sashiko thread, needles, fabric, templates.........
WOW !!! That is beautiful ♥
Fascinating...a completely new art form for me...
This is a wonderful tutorial! I have learned so many tips that will help me. Thanks so much🪡👍🏻
That knot is EVERYTHING!
Wow the weavers knot. Fantastic!
Great technique and great teacher! Thank you 🩷

Excellent instructions!!
Thank you enjoyed this tutorial
Could you give a line drawing of how to draw the pattern? I got lost because the marker did not show up very well. Thanks.
Good clear informative video!
Well done & informative, thanks
Trying such a fascinating trick
38:02 wow amazing knot, thanks
Great video and learned a lot!!!
I am definitely visually oriented!!
Amazing tutorial!
Great information!
This is wonderful. I wished she had showed how she did the knot in the end. That was really important to know. Thanks!
To my eye the ending knots appear to be the same as the knot she tied at the beginning of the tutorial.
If you just do a normal knot on the back you can guide it down to be close to fabric with your needle ie put needle in the loop
Ty the joining knot was very helpful
The weavers knot I learned is a slip knot on the new thread and put the old thread into the loop of the slip knot. Position the loop where you want the knot and close the loop and pull hard to flip the old thread. It’s a tiny knot that you can undo.

Saludos cordial de Chile a qui se llamaría" ropa remendada" los felicito ellos valoran.
Just come across sashiko today. I am struck how similar it is to Blackwork stitching

Could you give me names of the different markers you use-thank you
38:10 The weaver's knot bit, you're welcome.
thank you
Again, never thought of making pincushion! Can have the “Colored” sample on it to remember the order you go in...
Thought was a “Mending” technique... never thought of framing!
I would really like to try this on my grand daughters jean jacket. Just using the cream or white. It was amazingly informative, thank you. Do you think it could be done on denim ? I think it would be a fantastic way to bring old and new together.
This was my very first thought upon seeing the sashiko. Did you try it? If so, what are your thoughts?
Yes it is done on denim too
Oh I just found a video that uses Susan's book on a denim jacket! ruclips.net/video/4dyWijDrWTc/видео.html
37:30 minutes shows weavers knot. Brilliant
Is there a site that explains how to draw other patterns? This was so helpful!
Hi Lynn, you can find other videos, tutorials, tips, and tricks for Sashiko on our partner site, Bookmarked Hub - www.bookmarkedhub.com/
@@davidandcharles5154 thank you!
@@davidandcharles5154 I’m unable to find those tutorials.

Can anyone tell me the thread size I can't where she said it thank you
weavers knot at 41.00 , beautiful
I went to school with a Susan Briscoe in South Africa. She was also from the UK🇬🇧 I was wondering if it would be you Susan by any chance.
Hi. Can I ask where can I buy sashiko thread in big cone or ball like you? Thank you.
Try Amazon for the needles, pens and thread.
Do the stitches have to be equal in size i still find it hard to have equal stitches?
You need to show in large so that can be well visualize
Is Sashiki part of Ainu culture? Why did they show Ainu people in the beginning?
I was hoping to see a list of materials used in the video…
Susan has books with info. Chalk is good and Clover do several. The needles are also by clover - sashikoi ones
Watching for the second time. I know its not traditional but for demonstration purposes it would have been easier for us to see on any color other than black!
Hi! We appreciate your note, we did try to show this in a traditional format, although directions and guidance for these projects are shown in clear illustrations within the book which may be easier to view. Thanks!
Thimble? Are they encouraged?
Супер. Хорошо
J'aimerais tellement un sous titrage 😢
38:30 knot to join thread ends
Make the sample!!
