More sashiko inspired patches and mending!
I didn’t know that the traditional way to do a sashiko mend is to stitch the patch with the pattern and and then attach the patch to the clothing… but i still think it looks really cool! And it should still be plenty strong lol.

*Knee of my pants tears*
Me: Clearly the only logical course of action is to create an embroidery pattern of Master Chief by hand on graph paper, cut up an old curtain, and use modified cross-stitch through two layers of fabric to put John Halo Himself on my otherwise crappy pair of jeans.
Bad photo of the pattern I made in case anyone else wants it (I might try to digitize it later, Idk):

As requested, here’s the progress on one of my “completed” whales :) Naturally, I still have to edge it and attach it to the jacket, but it’s so sparkly.
You can also see my nice antique pincushion in the back :)
#so my plan is#I have three whales that will be all beaded like this#I may do some beaded edging on each#and then I’m going to try to do a sashiko wave embroidery on half the jacket#so the whales will be swimming through the waves#so far the embroidery has taken me a few weeks because I only like texturized stitches#satin stitch bores me to no end#but we’ll get to the jacket after this last whale#so yeah that’s my current project#just a buzzing bee#embroidery#beadwork#threadwork#fiber arts#my art#whale#cetaceans#I dunno more tags I guess

Loving how mindful the seven treasures pattern is, stitched as a single path, like a labyrinth.
These are my jeans for a change. They’re actually lavender, not that you can tell from the first photo.

Another attempt at some sashiko! This one is in the same thigh-rubbing spot as previous, but on a different set of jean shorts. Given how much I have to wrangle patches in this particular spot, I'm genuinely tempted to just put one in right as I buy the pants, maybe with some cute fabric so it's gradually revealed?
I'm about halfway done here, and you can tell just how much drawing out the grid (in this case, with lines every quarter-inch) helped me get the pattern I was aiming for much more effectively than the last one, where I was freehanding the lines.
Originally, the plan with this one was to have all the zig-zags point the same way, but honestly? I kinda dig the tiered waterfall vibe on this one more! Quite the improvement, in comparison to the one previous, I'd say, and that all comes down to technique.
I really enjoy the process of sashiko mends, it's very satisfying to load up a few straight stitches onto the needle just so where they need to be, then smooth out the fabrics they pin together, over and over. Very meditative, which makes it a good way to keep the hands busy while listening to a podcast! (Like, say, my podcast, Paper Cuts, perhaps? :3) plus, after you're done, you get to return a piece of clothing to use you would have lost otherwise! Isn't that a delight on its own?
#solarpunk#visible mending#sashiko#slow fashion#hand stitched#hand sewn#handmade patch#queue.queue#a thousand words#nesterian lifestylings#actually this patch has held up delightfully well!#it's the other pair of jorts i didn't quite nail and need to put a much larger sashiko patch on#(we'll see those later!)#(if you can't tell I'm posting these on quite the delay! go check out my discord if you're curious on catching up faster)#(also friendly reminder i have a podcast! paper cuts! i read books aloud!)

Let's have fun mending.
洋服にすぐに何かをこぼしたり穴を開けたりしてしまう私。畑仕事でも膝をついて作業をしてしまいます。そこで出会ったのが古着に施されていた補修の跡。それからというもの、服のダメージを見つけると嬉しく感じるように。
I often poke holes in my clothes or spill something on them.
Especially when I work in the fields, I work on my knees and the fabric gets thin. That's when I came across the repair marks on the clothes I bought at a thrift store. Since then, I have been happy when I find damage on clothes.
最近はお直しの注文も受けるようになりました。目立たないお直しから、アクセントになるお直しまでさまざまです。
Recently, I have been taking orders for mending. The repairs vary from inconspicuous repairs to accent repairs.
私には６歳になる息子がいます。彼の服は直し甲斐がある！
I have a six-year-old son. His clothes are very worthwhile to fix!
12月6日のお直しの注文に備えて、お直しの参考になるブローチを制作中です。バッヂへのお仕立てや服からバッグへなどの相談も承ります。それではまた。
In preparation for the December 6 alteration order, I am working on a brooch that will serve as a reference for the alterations. I am also available for consultations on tailoring to badges and from clothes to bags. See you soon.

Here’s a sashiko-style mend I did recently!
There’s a patch of fabric on the inside, but this lovely stitching design on the outside.
Sashiko is a Japanese form of quilting using a specific thimble, needle, and thread (thicker than typically used for english quilting) for repairing/reinforcing/decorating garments, blankets, and other items with geometric patterns. The classic color pairing is a dark blue indigo fabric with a white thread.
I call this “sashiko-style” because while I used the technique and look of the method, the pattern is a random one I found online and I used a thin crochet cotton, not proper sashiko thread—trust me, now that I’ve got my hands on some real sashiko thread, it’s a whole world of difference!!
All in all, i’m excited to keep going with sashiko quilting/mending and get my hands on a variety of sashiko thread colors 😅

This is the back of the big pink/red/purple patch area. A smaller patch covers an area that looked a bit threadbare.
Solved a current problem and prevented a future problem. My favorite kind of fix!

[ID from alt: A pair of purple and black socks with patches of blue visible mending on the heels and one of the toes. The second photo shows the backs of the socks, showing the blue mending in different styles on the backs of the heels. The third photo is a close up on a patch of Scotch darning. End ID]
I used these socks as kind of a sampler of different darning methods—there's a little bit of sashiko over threadbare areas, some swiss darning over actual holes, and I tried some Scotch darning for the first time on a bigger patch on one of the heels.
#scotch darning is great - i think i'm going to use it a lot more on knits especially#i think it both looks nicer on the outside and feels better on the inside#than swiss darning. and i'm just too hard on my clothes for sashiko to be very useful although i do think it's pretty#visible mending#sola stitched#sola said#sola described#big pile of mending has been a good craft to switch off w chainmail - more practical and considerably quieter#fulfills a different craft need in my brain

My first hand-sewn project bag, with sashiko style quilting to keep the sides upright.
This being my first bag, I made some rookie mistakes. eg: I forgot to hide my raw edges between the exterior and lining fabrics; so inside the bag, you can see raw edges.
But I did make a little pocket for a crochet hook!
Anyway, I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out--especially for my first try! I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed stabbing this a bajillion times.
I'm also very excited to show off this bag: "I made it! It has a pocket! And inside is something else I'm making!" 😄🥰
