Description

Handmade sashiko tea towel with gentle waves

I’m so happy to share and sell my latest handmade Tea Towel / Place Mat / Handkerchief with You.

The materials are all from Japan, and of premium quality. The fabric and the thread are of 100% cotton.

The pattern of this specific fabric is called 青海波 (Seigaiha) meaning ocean waves. The Seigaiha pattern is a symbol of peace (endless gentle waves), luck and good fortune.

The embroidery technique originates from Japan, and is named Sashiko.

The size of the fabric is 37,5 cm x 34 cm and the thread color is pale pink.

How to use it?

It’s very decorative to use it as a place mat under your tea pot, for example at your next tea party ?.

You can also use as a handkerchief. I got the idea from my stay in Japan, as nearly every Japanese woman carries  a handkerchief in their handbag. They use it for example when they visit a restroom and/or a powder room ??✨. Read my blogpost named Why is handkerchief so popular in Japan? to uncover more ideas on how to use it.

What is Sashiko?

Sashiko is a Japanese needling technique that is developed in Japan for a couple a centuries ago. Or as beautifully worded by Keiko & Atsushi Futatsuya:

“Sashiko is a process of mending the fabric to repair, strengthen and warmth the garment, which family member will wear”

Sashiko was originally a job for women to mend men’s garments over the winter. Both women and men worked as farmers during the summer. But in the winter men worked in the forest, and women repaired the fabric. This practice still exits in some parts of Japan. Read more about Sashiko on a previous blog post here.

If you have any questions to the product, I’m delighted to help you.

Thank you for reading my post.

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.

💕 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 🤎
