I mainly share simple hand-stitching and mending projects — reusing old fabrics, giving new life to forgotten materials, and finding calm in every stitch. Most of my work includes sashiko and visible mending, inspired by the wisdom of making the most of what we already have. I’m not a teacher — just someone who enjoys quiet time with needle and thread. I hope these small projects bring you peace and inspiration to create your own. Please enjoy my original designs for personal use only, not for commercial purposes. 昔ながらの手仕事や手芸を自分の日常に活かせるように現代風にアレンジしつつ、趣味として自由な針仕事を楽しんでいます。海外在住のため、道具や布はこちらで手に入るものを活用しています。 刺し子については、吉田英子さん、斉藤禮さん、宮崎恵美子さん、近藤陽絽子さん、また各地の刺し子本、博物館などの展示カタログ、昔の裁縫教科書や図案集などを参考にしています。 日本語字幕を入れ始めたのは最近のため、古いものは自動翻訳や日本語字幕なしです。新たな動画では、日本語字幕もつけるようにしておりますので、何卒ご理解くださいませ。 日本語のコメントには日本語で返信できますので、コメントをいただければ嬉しいです。
