I Turned Old Denim into Beautiful Japanese Patchwork!

Our journey continues beyond these stitches. Join me on Patreon to explore the weekly reflections and 'behind-the-scenes' life that shape my work.   / risasato   📹This Video Inspired by the final words of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the deep indigo tides of the Karatsu sea, today we transform worn denim fragments into a home for my thoughts. This isn't just a sewing project; it’s an exploration of Ichigo-Ichie—the Japanese philosophy that every encounter, and every stitch, is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.🌱 🇯🇵Here are Japan vlogs you might enjoy: Karatsu Pottery Village    • I Explored Japan’s 400-Year-Old Pottery Vi...   Okawachiyama Ceramic Village    • Inside Japan’s 400-Year-Old Ceramics Villa...   Biggest DIY Store in Tokyo    • I Explored Japan’s BIGGEST Craft Store!   Fabric Town in Tokyo    • I Found the Coolest Fabrics in Tokyo’s Hid...   👘 Grab the most beautiful kimono remnants from here: Kimono Fabric https://www.theobikyoto.com/product-p...
