The fact that your first shashiko mending needs to be mended again is not reassuring .
@Zen-Stitching
@Zen-Stitching Ай бұрын
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand how it might seem concerning at first glance, but needing to mend a sashiko repair again can actually be a natural part of the process, especially if the item is well-loved and frequently used. Sashiko is rooted in the tradition of extending the life of textiles, and sometimes that means adding new layers of stitching over time as the fabric continues to age. I see it as an opportunity to build on the original work, creating something even more unique and meaningful. If you’d like any tips for reinforcing your stitches or choosing fabrics to ensure durability, I’d be happy to help!

you could use a hoop, but traditionally sashiko is stitched without a hoop because of the way fabric is gathered onto the needle.

A good demo. You can buy sashiko needles and threads very easily online. However, sashiko thread and needles are not specifically designed for mending. They are designed for sashiko. Sashiko was traditionally added to garments and household textiles when they were first made. Using the fancier stitch patterns for mending isn’t traditional- although it does look good. It is a modern idea. When torn clothing was patched in Japan, what is now being referred to specifically as boro, the stitching was rarely hitomezashi (one stitch sashiko) like this. There are plenty of extant items which show how crudely the stitching was done. Hitomezashi patterns like the one being used for the repair here, were used in various parts of Japan - in Shōnai, Yamagata Prefecture, this jūjizashi (‘10’ 十 or cross pattern) was used on hanten work jackets and sorihikihappi sledge pulling waistcoats when they were made, and also used on Awaji island on fishermen’s donza coats. The stitching wasn’t a repair though, and was done to strengthen and add warmth when the garments were made. Frixion pens disappear with heat, but they don’t wash out. The lines will come back if the item gets cold. For denim, the kids’ wash out markers are better, which were also mentioned.

When fabrics start to get holes in them, it means that the surrounding fabric is also worn and more likely to fray. I have found a generous patch means less mending in the long run - as they say, a stitch in time saves 9 😊

Sashiko thread comes in many different colours. I like working with threads that contrast with the denim, which is why I am working with lighter colours. This also helps to make the stitch the focal point.
