Oh my god, that sashiko looks freaking awesome!!!!!! So impressed. I didn't know that that was what it was called - is it the name of the stitch or the circling or what?

Sashiko is the embroidery style. Basically it's a running stitch, so good for doing large areas quicker than fancier embroidery, while still looking decorative. I think it was originally a mending technique for worn fabrics, but I've seen it used for patterning on newer clothes too.
It looks great. You see that stitch on throws made out of old saris...
Interesting that you mention saris. I recently saw a project where they make skirts for resale from old saris. All that beautiful fabric to work with sounds amazing too! 😁
Yes, gorgeous - the silk ones would be tough to work with!
I've never worked with silk. Anything like chiffon, organza and satin do you think?
What are you doing, Mini? Asking me sewing questions? I was only pretending to know what I was talking about - jeez, don't make me make actual conversation including fabric types - eeek!!!! 😀😀😀
Gosh, you really sounded like you knew the biz! I bet you're great at interviews! 🤣
