On the wall, farm garments exemplify a rare combination of sashiko quilting and kasuri dyeing, and probably date from the Meiji era. The sea chests flanking the bed are typical of those from Sakata in northern Yamagata Prefecture.

i liked this video so this is what the process looks like for sewing one of these straight stitches on an edwardian treadle machine in gif form. it’s a real creature bond of a feeling working with the rhythm of the treadle and the machines momentum

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!

Found a treasure and a mystery at my local antique shop!

This is clearly the same fabric as Kirsten’s meet dress but how did it end up in this mini quilt?

It is an amazingly well crafted piece and feels so true to Kirsten’s aesthetic. So, did it come from a bolt of fabric or an upcycled Kirsten dress?

It is signed and dated by the artist and I wish I could find her to ask!

An old patchwork quilt used as a tablecloth... is set next to a much less formal nineteenth-century bamboo chair with a chintz squab. The carved Chippendale eagle surrounding the painting adds a dramatic note to the otherwise sedate and gentle space.
