This tutorial offers two methods: traditional sashiko stitching and a quick painted version. Sashiko stitching, a simple running stitch technique, adds an authentic Japanese touch, while the painted version provides a faster alternative. Both methods result in beautiful and unique windsocks perfect for decorating your home or garden. Follow this step-by-step guide to repurpose your denim and bring a touch of Japanese charm into your craft projects."
