A follow-up questionnaire survey was conducted among 137 junior high school students in order
to clarify their practical attitudes after SASHIKO stitching training from three perspectives: use of their
SASHIKO works, use of a needle and thread at home, and general creative attitude. In addition, we
examined the relationship between the flow experience during SASHIKO stitching training and their
practical attitudes in post-learning life.
As for the first aspect of practical attitude, the use of SASHIKO works, it became clear that few
students used their works. Thus, there was no relationship between the use of works and the flow
experience. As for the second practical attitude, the use of a needle and thread at home, 35 students
(25.5%) used needles at home within one year after the class. The tendency to use needles and thread at
home after learning was consistent with the tendency to experience flow during the class. This suggests
that if students can be absorbed in sewing experience (flow experience) during the class, they are more
likely to use a needle and thread at home. Conserning the third aspect of practical attitude, general
creative attitudes were not limited to clothing life. There was a significant correlation between the
creative attitude after learning and the flow experience during the class, suggesting that the sewing class
was valuable for human development.
These results suggest that one of the ways of effective modern sewing class is to improve the quality
of students’ flow experiences in the class, which will lead to the development of students’ life practices
and active attitudes.
