I say sashiko style - I am totally unable to make stitches in neat rows.
But I like the idea of covering the whole area with stitching, which really reinforces everything
and the knit fabric I'm using, which seemed maybe a little thick, is being nicely flattened out by all the stitches.
These are my brother's thermals - the seat is worn, but the legs are good. So, I'm patching.
Very artistic! xx
ReplyDeleteAnd very kind of you to put it that way, Lynda. :D It takes a bit of time, but will be worth it, if it'll be comfortable for him. Time will tell.
DeleteI was being serious!!!! For once! Well...maybe not completely...but it IS artistic! I really like shashiko stitching, I'd just never thought of doing it on thermals :) xx
DeleteNice! We love being able to fix things and get more use out of them!
ReplyDeleteI am always learning new things here! I had never heard of sashiko stitching so I googled it. I must try this I think! I always have plenty of mending to do and patching is always tricky.
ReplyDeleteWow! Inspiring mending. :-)
ReplyDeletehi! wrote back on my blog, but wanted to be sure you got the info you asked about: Lisa, I would not say it was that noticeable! My friend N. who is local to us has made us soup when we were ill that had ginger in it - she wrote the ingredients for me - and said ginger 'was for strength' ... ginger, onion and garlic are all things that can help one when ailing, I know that. It was probably the best soup broth I have ever made, to be honest!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth! Definitely something I'll try.
ReplyDeleteMending is such a fantastic skill. I've not heard of sashiko though--off to do some reading!
