Hello! Hope you’re having a relaxing day so far! In this vlog, I spent the day doing sashiko and answering some of the questions about myself! Earlier I did a community post about the Q&A and received some interesting questions! I noticed there were a few recurring questions on some of the video comments so I answered some of those as well!
I started learning sashiko not long ago so I’m not very good at it but I’m learning as I go! I hope you like sashiko as much as I do!

If I could give you one advice on cats it is to not allow them on the surfaces where food will be prepared or eaten. It’s just not sanitary having them walk, hop, and have their heads, paws in our food. Fur in food is disgusting!! We always gave our past cats this limitation. Cannot wait to see your new addition 😊❤
I really enjoyed this Q&A! It's so interesting to get to know this inspiring human behind the camera 😊 Thank you for your videos, they really inspire me!
Greetings from Germany 💫
Hi Kiko, I recently did some sashiko on a little project but it was completely freehand as I saw a design on Pinterest, only now am I finding out that there are books and gris to follow😅 at least it looks good, so no one will ever know 😂😂 thanks for sharing ❤
Hello 👋. I have always wanted to learn Sashiko. I am definitely going to find a class or hopefully I can find a beginner start kit. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
When the Sashiko is finished, what projects do make out of them?
🤞🤞
I really love hobbies like you 🥰 You are inspiration to me 😊 thank you for beautiful videos. I very happy to watch your videos and take my hobbies too.💗
do you have any suggestions for kits? I would love to try sashiko.
Passions we share: Slow stitching, gardening and cooking. You channel is rich with creativity. Thank you. Blessings.
Hello Kiko! I want to say I really enjoy your videos and thanks for letting us have a bit of a peek into the person behind the camera, it feels like getting to know a new friend who shares some of my hobbies and who I can just craft silently with. I live in the US and love to sew, I started getting back into it for making my own costumes but lately I am trying my hand at vintage fashion patterns. I also love to thrift things, I’ve been collecting vintage tablecloths lately and plan to use them for my vintage wardrobe along with some modern fun patterned fabrics because who doesn’t love awesome cat prints.
I have two cats of my own that I raised from around two weeks old so I had to bottle feed them, it was very labor intensive since they needed feeding every couple of hours but it was definitely a labor of love. My boy shadow he loves to lay on my clean clothes and he loves laundry day when it’s piled and sorted in the living room because he loves to lay in the dirty towels. Sunshine is sister (both from the same litter and abandoned by their mother) she is my supervisor when it comes to my sewing, she always makes sure my fabric is laid out flat by laying down on it. They did try to get into my needles a few times when they were younger, but I keep that stuff well locked up now and they don’t bother it now that they’re older.
My advice to a new cat owner is this, first be prepared to find cat hair everywhere and on every thing it’s just gonna be part of life from that point on, long haired fluffy cats require a lot of grooming to keep from being matted so keep this in mind if you do not want to invest a lot of time into grooming it or paying for regular appointments. Second is cats are going to have their own distinct personalities just like humans do, some love to be held others may be more aloof and not be a lap cat you may find the kitty bonds more to your husband than you and that’s okay, they can and will have preferences towards the people in their homes. Third, when you bring the kitty home be aware it’s going to take time to adjust to its new surroundings, I don’t remember any brand names off the top of my head but there are wall plug in that release cat pheromones that can help them calm down maybe look into this when you guys find a kitty and get ready to bring them home. Maybe make the kitty a dark little cave someplace where it has a good vantage point of the whole room and you can easily set up some food and water near it while the kitty adjusts to your home. If you have questions, I am sure if there’s any rescues or fosters in your area they can help, your vet will be a big help too! Oh and make sure to get the kitty chipped along with making sure to keep their shots up to date. Please don’t declaw them if you are worried about them scratching up your furniture look into the claw caps or get them used to having their nails trimmed regularly!
Hello Kiko! My name is Catherine, I’m from Russia and I also work in the wedding and event industry as a designer and relax through my hobby, because this work really is an area with a lot of stress. And I noticed that most of my colleagues, like me, like you, prefer neutral colors and minimalism in real life. I think we are saturated with colors and emotions in our work) by the way, I am also a homebody and an introvert. 😅 I wish your hobbies bring you even more joy!
Really enjoy watching you sew, so relaxing and love that purple shade of fabric!❤
I have 2 rescue cat/kitten. The 2nd was adopted when he was 4months old and I noticed, he understands commands while our first would ignore you 😅 And when I sew, I do watch if they chew on my pins and etc, when I leave my sewing temporarily, I cover it with fabric or my clothes, because it would be harder for them to play with it. And after sewing, I ensure all needles or pins aren’t littered around 😅 My cats do love watching me sew and snuggle near me ❤
Thanks for sharing amazing videos. Would you be able to show how you set up your cameras? I would love to learn too 🙏
💜🪻gracias kiko por compartir tan bello video y parte de tu vida!!
¿ Podrías enfocar más de cerca la puntada que haces para unir las dos telas ? …quiero aprenderla ….gracias 🥰💜🪻
Dear Kiko, thank you very much for an again lovely video. Especially I do enjoy that you put the craft on the center stage and not yourself, in times where everybody wants to present themselves this is a very welcome alternative format and very enjoyable, for both, yourself ( I believe so ) and us out there too. More wabi-sabi and slowness and less ego would be wonderful to the world, so go on as you do, it is great! lots of greetings from Germany – happy crafting!
im so glad i came across your channel. i just love watching your videos, please never stop making it.
Thank you for answering all those questions – I totally love your videos and site and its my go to place when my world gets me down – thank you for the beauty you create
💖💚💙❤ Hello Kiko, hello from France
You're the first person that I watch who doesn't speak. So relaxing, just the music and so many wonderful things.
I discover, not long ago, sashiko and I bought a kit. Really cool.
I have 2 cats. If I may suggest few tips,
from the very beggining prepare its space for sleeping, eating and pooping. With time, take your cat outside with its pooping thing and it will take the habbit of doing it outdoors. Don't buy toys, because it 's gonna play with every thing and nothind in particular. Cats love empty box.
Never play with thread or wool. At home, I 've got wool and fleece everywhere and they don't touch it.
Play with your cat, cuddle, speak and brush. Don't force them if they don't want to be cuddle . With time, you will understand their speach and body language.
Try not to change its area because cats are creature of habbit and it could be stressful. But such is life if you have to. And oh yes, from the beginnig, teach your cat not to bite and if it scratch gently tap its pads and say no fermly. It will understand.
Cats are very intelligent. Voilà, sorry for this looooong message.
Take care and thank you for sharing your hobbies.
See ya 🧡💜🖤
Bonito todo
I recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy Watching your videos. This holiday I’m going to try sashiko for the very first time. After years of sewing, this Will be entirely New for me. We’ll see. Enjoy your day.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work and making videos without spoken words!
Belíssimo trabalho de arte de costuras e de bordar
Inspiring channel. Thank you Kiko❤
I live in Australia but travel to Japan every couple of years . I love Sashiko and wondering the name of the book is . Looks amazing
Hello Kiko, I am Brazilian, the daughter of a Japanese father and a mother of Portuguese descent. I am 64 years old, married and have no children or pets. I lived in Japan more than 30 years ago and now I live in the largest capital of my country. Today I am retired from my former job in the administrative area, so I can dedicate myself to some hobbies such as crochet, knitting, small sewing, painting and drawing. I am your follower, I really admire your work and your lifestyle inspires me, in addition to feeling a lot of peace and comfort. Congratulations! I always wish you health, love and peace. I will enjoy meeting your kitty. Your garden is beautiful, I love flowers and nature. Thank you, a big hug.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌼🌼🌼🌼🙏🙏
I suggest using a quilters white chalk pencil on dark fabric.
I have those threads your using,they are heavy but beautiful thankyou
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love the fact that you force me to stop and watch rather than listening and crafting in the background!
As for a cat definitely get one! I have three and love them all! They are more self sufficient/reliant than dogs so enable you to do more without having to rush home or plan dog friendly venues. If you have never had a cat I would go for an older rescue cat to ease yourself in. So many are rejected and finding a home with no children or other pets is perfect for them. You would give each other so much love and joy xx
