Meet  Jeanette

Hi, I am Jeanette, a soft, gentle and kind soul that loves making SASHIKO.

I discovered sashiko when I lived in Japan. 

It’s now more than 4 years ago, my husband and I left Japan after 6 years in Tokyo. My stay in Japan was an unforgettable experience for me.

I loved discovering the Japanese culture, meeting new friends and building a family life with my husband.

On my blog page you will find many stories from my time in Japan.

While experiencing many different cultural aspects of Japan, such as the Japanese tea ceremony, I also learned the traditional Japanese hand sewing technique of sashiko.

I hope you will be inspired on my website to learn sashiko too. And I will be so happy to help you!! 

 

I was born and raised in the northern European country, Denmark. After graduating from university, I began a career in finance. After 8 years my soul led me in a new direction, and I started as a salesperson in a fashion store. I really loved being surrounded by beautiful products and providing excellent customer service. It’s also my hope that you will find the beauty of sashiko and peace in your heart.

If you want to know more about me, feel free to send me a message or follow me on Instagram @bykanaguri. 

Thank you for reading about me and I can’t wait to hear from you.

 With Sashiko love,

Jeanette

New Japanese words from me to you. In Japanese language, family can be translated as 

💗家族 (kazoku)

家 • means house
事 • means tribe, family 

Depending on whether you are talking about your own family or talking to someone else’s family, the word changes a little 🤍

For example becomes かぞく(kazoku) ごかぞく(gokazoku) when you are taking about someone else’s family.

Xo,
Jeanette

Happy February Beautiful Souls!

💕 Sashiko Thread 💗

The sashiko thread is different from many embroidery threads.

🍒 It is made by twisting several thin cotton threads together, and has a looser twist, and
🍒 made from long and stable cotton meaning that it is very hard wearing and strong. 

The thickness of the Sashiko thread varies. 

Thick threads give a soft and rustic feel while thin threads give a delicate and beautiful finish. 

Vegetable-dyed treads are popular for their gentle colours. Find your favourite yarn by comparing them. 

In the picture you will find some of my favourite Sashiko threads.

To the most left: @sashikostory color #013 - thick and lovely thread
In the middle: @hobbyra_hobbyre color #116 - medium thick, the one I use the most.
To the right side: @ajisaidrop thin and delicate.

With sashiko love,
Jeanette

Dear beautiful 🫶🏻

You might be curious about what Sashiko is.

Sashiko is a Japanese hand sewing technique that was developed in Japan a few centuries ago or as beautifully expressed by Keiko & Atsushi Futatsuya:

"Sashiko is a process of repairing the fabric to repair, strengthen and warm the clothes that the family member will wear"

Sashiko was originally a job for women to repair men's clothing over the winter. Both women and men worked as farmers in the summer. But in winter, men worked in the forest and women repaired the fabric. This practice still exists in some parts of Japan.

💫 My story with Sashiko
I discovered Sashiko one day when I walked into a small hobby shop in our neighborhood in Tokyo. Many Japanese women bought small pieces of white fabrics with printed patterns and also colorful threads. I wondered what they were going to do?

They all had to make small hand-sewn handkerchiefs. I found it fascinating and wanted to try it myself.

After several years of creating small pieces of hand-stitched fabrics using the Japanese needlework technique, I want to share my passion with the world. Because

It is pure bliss. Relaxing. And funny.

Do you also want to try? You can see more about Sashiko in my link in my profile.

Thank you for stopping by 🤎
