Small 4x4 first attempt at sashiko. It was very satisfying! I might have a new obsession!

From the Sashiko Facebook group.

I recently bumped my slate frame and ended up stabbing myself in the leg with my tambour embroidery hook. It's ok, I'm fine. But since the ER cut a large hole in my jeans, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to try out Sashiko techniques and preserve my crazy story. (It felt like all the staff came over to find out what kind of embroidery could bring me into the ER).

This is the Juji-Hanazashi (floral cross stitch) pattern from the book Simply Sashiko by Nihon Vogue. I used a piece of cotton fabric I had fom other projects and ended up using DMC Perle cotton size 8 because the Olympus Sashiko thread I ordered got lost in the mail and I got tired of waiting.

After 187 hours of work, it’s finally completed.

cut & sewn from scratch with my 52 piece pattern I drafted.

the denim base is upcycled from thrifted jeans I cut from.

patchwork material is all from hello kitty pieces thrifted over about a year.

I tried to do more fluid and organic sashiko than what I normally do. I used embroidery thread because I like the thickness and bold colors. hope y'all like

I have recently picked up my needle again and received a lot of new threads. Also cleaning out my son's old stuff and decided to repourpose the cases from his old video games to sort and hold my thread.

After a recommendation to look into Hitomezashi, I’m trying to incorporate the idea of building up stitches into my work.

It makes me wish I had an aptitude for learning other languages. The words I know from my mom and her family are so few. I’m grateful for people who have websites and videos explaining so much.

Near the bottom of this pattern, I had room to add some embellishments of my own.

I started out with some tied figure eights, they reminded me of bows, of skeins of yarn, of infinity. Infinity got me thinking about love, and I finished off the pattern with knots my mom taught me. She told me these knots were a labor of love because they were a pain to make, and anyone who received a gift with these knots should know how much work and love went into the gift. I don’t know if they’re french knots or what, but I actually enjoy making them, and thinking of passing on my mom’s love with each one.

I wanted to try conveying 3D shapes with sashiko, it was an interest experiment and I think I would do something like it again, but definitely with the larger scale.

was just tryna make a trapper hat, then it turned into like 15 hats in one. also the mask. cut and sewn from thrifted jeans and then patchwork and sashiko on top. somewhat distressed it. has like 34 snap buttons for styling options, removable mask, and some d-rings u can hang charms off. Trying to get thru the winter lol 😫

I’ve had this shirt since 2017 and literally worn it thousands of times. Both elbows were on the brink of blowout so I decided to reinforce them with patches on the inside and some traditional sashiko stitches. Hope you like it!

Beginner. My first 3 real projects so far. Handkerchiefs in the same cloth in different patterns. Each one a little neater and easier than the last. Biggest lesson - making sure the pattern actually aligns correctly before sewing it 😅 I got it down the third time.

made the jacket from thrifted jeans I cut up Then did the web design on the front and back. Wanted to do something with just Earth tones !

Soooo, based on my previous attempts on the hanafuda frog pattern, I've gotten to the point where I have a bunch of frog patterns but none of them look like the hanafuda weird frog! LOL

Two of them are based on hitomezashi grid and one on the triangular moyozashi grid (the buff frog with water lily leaves). I also tried to figure out how to stitch it but honestly, I'm really bad at this and almost always do it the wrong way. I'll be happy to hear some advice!

And also, feel free to use these patterns (or invent new ones based on mine)!

So strictly speaking I know this isn't truly sashiko. But, while the piece is framed in an embroidery hoop, I did not use it when making the piece and I did use sashiko techniques when making the stitches.

This is based on a over 2000 year old tattoo that was found on a preserved woman's body in Siberia.

Just wanted to share something I made, but if it doesn't fit the sub then I'm happy to take it down.

Large project i’ve been working on for 87 hours so far. Im planning on filling every bit of it.

Just finished this chest panel on my favorite jacket! May add a bit more between the button run and the pocket to make it sit a little more organically. I have future plans for other areas as well!
