I like it very much 😊

[@star.seeker178]

This tecnique is so fascinating and you explained it in a such clear and pleasant way, that I can't help but try Sashiko!!❤ Thanks a lot for sharing😊

[@christinebowden928]

Hello I have just started sashiko stitching I find your videos very helpful easy to follow being in my eighties I find it very relaxing just wanted to say I have quite a lot of Perle crochet cottons as it comes in different thicknesses I find it a good substitute for sashiko stitching I have bought Sashiko cotton thread but until I get a lot better at stitching I am practising with the crochet cotton Thankyou for your videos they are very helpful 😊

[@adalouellis5706]

I am new and just love your channel! I love the look so much, it appeals to me in such a way, it's hard to describe but it's like I've seen it before, somehow. Like seeing an old friend. I have a question? Would it be possible to mend an old quilt? My friend has a beautiful, white quilt with pink flowers and green vines. At the top, where you sleep, her husband had clenched the blanket tightly, damaging and wearing out the fabric. I thought maybe your method might look good, but I'm not sure. She's given me the quilt, but I know she loves it so much and I thought to repair it in a lovely way and give it back to her! I am a beginner to your method, but I do sew and embroider. So, if you think it's a good idea??..... It's an area of about 12 in. × 9 in that's damaged. With a scalloped edge. I would love a tutorial if you have a mind to do one on repairing quilts. I am subbed to your channel and am so inspired by your work. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us your simple yet elegant style and work. It takes a generous and thoughtful person to share their skills with total strangers! I also become very calm and peaceful inside when I watch your channel. I thank you. Looking forward to your response! With love, all the best to you!

I used to make up my own patches for my neighborhood friends. I usually did their boyfriends name and flowers. I had steady customers as they went on to new boys they needed new patches

[@queenmisanthrope]

Lmaooo as they went on to new boys, they needed new patches 😂😂😂😂

[@Sukhvinderkailay]

This business does not need references from customers 😁

[@peksn]

hahaha sustainable buisness model

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Lol!!! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😂 😂 😂

[@solb101]

Sounds like those girls were spending a lot of time on their knees.

[@TheJudeJane]

Use an old T-shirt to make patches, because it stretches when you bend your knee. Comfortable and durable. Use elastic thread! Then top it off with colorful stitches on the actual denim fabric surrounding the patch. I leave my frayed denim around the hole so the jeans don’t look store-bought. Much cooler looking with the cotton frays hanging, and they won’t fray anymore because of stitching used to incorporate the inside patch.

[@DufortIsa]

I love the way you mixed patterns, colours and shapes. Catching the side stitch to reinforce your patch is brilliant. I will use this tip next time. I always preferred my jeans when they get older and softer. Unfortunately the holes often come as they age, but now I will be able to keep them even longer. Thank you for sharing.

[@danielverdin7185]

I LOVED the video! Especially how you cover very basic things, it's very helpful because I have never stitched anything before!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you so much! Really happy to hear that it’s helpful ! 🥰

[@milksoup328]

thank you so much for this! mine turned out a little wonky, i fixed a linen bag like this, but im just happy i can use it again!

[@AaronHendu]

I recently started mending and even modifying quality second hand clothing...this is right up my ally. I often embrace small tears and imperfections as characeter, but as they larger and affect wearability I will definitely be considering this aesthetic patch style. I only hand stitch as I have no sewing machine and honestly not sure I even remember how to use one lol

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

That's awesome that you've started mending and modifying second hand clothing! Embracing small tears and imperfections definitely adds character to the pieces. And hand stitching can be just as effective as using a sewing machine, on top of that, it's good for our minds too! Keep up the great work!

[@melaniehopkins7541]

You have created a beautiful “mend”! It’s a work of art! My compliments. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

[@janiceharding625]

Very beautiful 🌸 I’m excited to try this method, so I just ordered some Sashiko threads and needles ☺️. Thank you very much for kindly sharing you knowledge and skills. I found your tutorial wonderfully calming and therapeutic to watch 🥰.

[@jesspattphotos]

This is so wonderful. The mending job is both beautiful and functional. Thank you.

[@caleenalexanderson6209]

Love the video and simple instructions. I found a pair of my favorite jeans with huge knee holes yesterday. I am going to do this, thank you!

[@subcatboy]

I love this way of mending, I recently have been getting more into hand sewing (due to my clothes falling apart) and this has been super fun and it looks a lot nicer than trying to hide mends!

[@SJ-dl6uc]

I do Persian calligraphy with Persian motifs/colours and punk aesthetics. sashiko stitches lend themselves so well to Islamic art and motifs, cz it's mostly angular geometry (plus convexity/concavity curves). sashiko creates natural guides for the lines and angles. especially if you design it in a planar fashion, you can use angular geometric shapes for the curves too.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you so much for sharing !

[@TarynOHShoooT]

I did sashiko on my hand towel that had holes in it and this video made it so easy to follow!!!❤

[@l.baughman1445]

Thank you for such a pleasant and informative video! It's so helpful for me to see how you do that and reinforcing the side near the seam with such style.

[@tanjaprimc9347]

This is soooo cool. What a beautiful method of extending the life of a garment!!!!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thanks !

[@amarilisrolon8136]

Omg now I'm obsessed with your channel... I just love it. Thanks for teaching us...

[@rosemariejones8546]

Really good tutorial. Clear and concise in a lovely voice!😊

[@jonathanbailey5896]

Hi, great video. I really enjoyed instruction. I've done my first pair and it seems to have turned out well with your help. this may seem a strange request, but it will be nice to have a video as to the way you do the back knot. And also if you run out of cord how to remedy this?

[@sylviechvostkova3057]

To by měl vidět celý svět! Super!

[@danniefrenchpea63]

Absolutely beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏I have just ordered some sashiko needles and thread. I have many clothes I can repair using this technique 🥰

[@anniehague1554]

Lovely video, sewing, and results. Nice to see you again!

[@eightchickens4415]

Lovely! More visible mending content like this please 🙏

[@SoldierDrew]

This is so beautiful and interesting.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@doreenzautner5542]

You inspired me to patch my ripped jeans. I love the simple beauty of sashiko. ❤

[@ourzerowastejourney]

So beautiful! This is a great way to reduce waste.

[@matcatbuchner75]

Just repaired 2 jeans thanks to your useful video, thank you very much!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Wow! So happy to hear that! Feel free to share it with me on Instagram if you want. :)

[@arrows23]

I love this! I've got a pair of Uniqlo jeans that have a tear alongside a back pocket and I was considering just throwing them out. It annoyed me as they've not had that much wear but I couldn't see a way to fix it. I might try this or pay someone to patch them for me if this is too difficult.

[@dellmktr4152]

You can either use sashiko or patchwork combine with embroidery to form a pattern like flower/house/animal characters whichever you Like.

[@LM-rl4nd]

This is beautiful. Thank you for teaching us.

[@mentoncouve]

Thank you for introducing us to this brilliant technique to mend and decorate jeans.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Your appreciation means a lot! I love sharing creative ideas with all of you.

[@ness8193]

Extremely helpful and easy to follow! Thank you for including subtitles!

[@sunnybrett]

This is such a wonderful idea! I have a pair of jeans that needs to be repaired in exactly the same place. Thank you very much for the inspiration.

[@Grimreaper45705]

This was a great video, I used this video to add a patch with a pocket for knee pad inserts.

[@iloveyourtattoos]

This is such a well-done video and very thorough! Thank you for taking the time to make it!

[@marefynn81]

I want to thank you for this lovely video. This particular one is too advanced for me, but it gives me an idea of what can be done. I absolutely hate holes in my clothing and have a pair of corduroy pants I want to reinforce before a hole starts.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

I'm glad you found the video helpful! Reinforcing those corduroy pants before they get holes is a smart move. Happy stitching!

[@niemodna]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for this well explained and soothening tutorial!

[@Helen-gm6kl]

Superidee!So eine kreative Arbeit hatte ich selten gesehen.Vielen Dank für akkurate und außergewöhnliche Art den Jens zweites Leben zu geben!Bravo!!! ❤

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm really glad you liked the work! :)

[@barbarastruhs3733]

I loved this video and your Channel. Sashiko is a beautiful technique and you and your presentation are just lovely! Thank you!

[@coolthinghere6853]

little tip: unless the garment fabric is prone to fraying more (especially for thinned areas) turning it under may be optional. i know some people might not like the look or the feel of bulky denim turned over lovely video c:

[@marialuisagarabelli9235]

Wonderful demonstration!

[@alexalexiadis]

/Great work…Lovely technic!❤/ made for my free time…something new and creative is born!!

[@trapizonn3603]

This is an amazing tutorial. I hope I can get like you one day 🙌

[@dakfu_]

i love your channel !! pls keep it going with such a welcoming presence !

[@corwynm]

I love this tutorial, thank you. Just one note, in case you don't know: Frixion pen ink disappears with heat, but it also reappears with cold. So it may not be a perfect way to mark material if you'll wear the item out in the cold.

[@jennifergreen9989]

But Frixion ink is also washable, so it should be fine if you wash your clothes first!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you very much for the information! I conducted a test with the Frixion pen. Indeed, the ink reappeared on the fabric after I placed it in the freezer. However, the marks vanished when I hand-washed the fabric, using soap and rubbing it by hand.

[@sacredcowmars]

This was a great and extremely helpful video, looking forward to what’s next

[@freezo244]

Beautiful work!

[@reneebrill8322]

I'm excited to see a new video! I just found your channel and I'm really enjoying the palm thimble I made following your tutorial.

[@ocsicnarf500]

I did the whipstitch and secured the patch! thanks so much for your videos theyre so helpful and beautifully made. How do you do the knots like that?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

I'm glad you found the videos helpful! Feel free to check out the videos for beginners, you should be able to find the answer there. Happy stitching!

[@colleenorourke7199]

So lovely! Im dying to mend/decorate some of my jeans but since they all have at least some amount of stretch built in im worried the strong reinforcement of the sashiko will ruin the fit 🤷🏽‍♀️ any suggestions appreciated!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you Colleen! I would suggest you use similar stretchy fabric as patches. Also wavy patterns are great to keep the stretch of the fabric. Check out the fundo-tsunagi pattern in my Basics of Sashiko no. 3 video. Good luck and have fun!

[@donnadees1971]

You are so helpful.

[@AY-lt5oc]

I usually wear my trousers out in the inner thigh area. Do you have any suggestions how to patch this up nicely? Loving your creative stitching.

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, thanks. I'll try to make a tutorial on it. :)

[@sherrijones6605]

You do beautiful work!

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Thank you!

[@faramund9865]

Fairly sure this is roughly how the holes in the Lendbreen tunic were repaired 1700 years ago in Norway. (The whip stitch part, without the decoration).

wonderful work... love it..😍😍😍

[@adamtaylor7695]

Hi! I love your video, but I have a quick question. I don't have any Sashiko thread, so would regular embroidery floss work?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, you can use anything you have, however, sashiko thread is 100% and it works best with mending clothes, as it's durable and it blends into fabric quite well.

[@drwombat]

The pen/markers u use for measurements and lines, are they erasable/washable? Or do they stain?

[@XiaoxiaoYarn]

Hi, these are heat erasable pens. The ink disappears when you apply heat onto it. The link is in the description. However, it can return when you expose it in weather below -10C. So if you are living in a cold place, I'd recommend you to use water soluble pens. :)
