I repaired my favourite Sashiko thimble with mini-sized Hitomezashi and it became so cute!

Thank you for watching! In this video, I will repair my favourite Sashiko thimble. I was originally going to simply replace the damaged cover of it but in the end, i stitched mini-sized Sashiko on the cover to improve the durability.
Here's the original tutorial video for my favourite thimble.

Oh, they are so cute! Great idea to add some extra pieces of waste fabric.

Thank you as always❤️

I can't wait to make a thimble like yours! Thank you for these wonderful videos!❤

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you so much😊❤️🪡🧵

I love the dainty patterning on the finished thimbles. They do look a lot more hardy now. I also like that you reused scraps from the earlier thimble to stuff the new ones. That’s such a good thrifty idea!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you😊 As the cover is meant to have some holes and dents to support the needle, it will wear out at some stage. But I hope they last a bit longer now👍 The small scraps are perfect for levelling the padding😉

[@creepycutiecrafty]

@@thegreenwrapper I was thinking that the V shaped stitch formation would be ideal for catching the needle effectively. I look forward to seeing it in use in future episodes!

Sewing in such tiny stitches through jeans material is certainly difficult, congratulations in persisting! And I loved the moment when you added the old thread to the padding, that little touch of frugality made me smile. It reminds me of my parents who grew up during the Great Depression. Thank you for your videos, they are always informative and a pleasure to watch.

Thank you for noticing it! Since I started learning Sashiko, I’ve heard and read how people used to cherish those materials. One person told me that they were taught to keep using fabrics until they become smaller than the size of stamps. There are beautiful bags made from very small pieces of fabrics too. It made me realise how easily I throw away old things. Now I really love mending and repurposing clothes😊

Honestly, making the stitches so tiny was probably a good idea from a practical standpoint, too. Less chance of the needle catching in them and pulling them out of place. Also, they look so cute!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you! I have started using them and so far so good👍

[@DoraG99]

This is such a good idea! I’ll be very curious to see how well it holds up with the extra stitching 🥰

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you😊 It’s been holding up well so far👍

[@mejust2899]

You mentioned some types of sashiko in a couple of videos other than this one, like hitomezashi, komezashi, kakinohana and hakosashi (hope I wrote those right). Would you be interested in making a video about this? I think it would be very nice to have one video talking about all the different types of sashiko stitches and their meanings. Thank you so much, I always appreciate your videos, they're very clear and helpful.

I got a nice olive green palm thimble I love it even though I don’t really need it yet. Have you ever stitched using plain sewing thread or stitched something thin?

[@thegreenwrapper]

Yes, I use size 25 embroidery floss often as well. I use two strands when I stitch with thinner threads❤️😊🧵🪡
