Hello,
I have been notified that our corporate website, UpcycleStitches.com, may return an SSL redirect error on certain web browsers (such as Firefox). I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I am currently working with both the server provider and the domain provider to resolve this issue. At this time, the error may still occur.
Please be assured that the website is safe according to Google Safe Browsing. I have also installed a malware protection service, as I take the safety of your online experience very seriously. However, resolving the SSL redirection may take some time. In parallel, I am now in the process of separating the corporate website and transitioning important content to the Sashiko Story Portal website (SashikoStory.com). If you experience any inconvenience, please do not hesitate to let me know so that I can prioritize relocating the necessary information.
At this point, the possible inconvenience includes the following:

The original article detailing the Terms & Conditions for inviting me for an in-person Sashiko class can be found on UpcycleStitches.com.

If the SSL error continues to prevent access, please contact me directly. I will be happy to send you the information by email or duplicate the article on SashikoStory.com.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The year 2025 has been very eventful, and I am finally able to sit down and address these technical challenges properly. I was advised that the SSL redirect error is not critical, but it is now time for me to fix it—or at least provide reliable alternatives.
Thank you very much for your continued support and understanding.
Warmly,
Atsushi
