    Make pinning easier - take one of those "Plastic Flexible Cutting Boards for Kitchen" and cut it in half lengthwise. Slide the strip into the pants leg or wherever you need to pin. Lets you pin quickly without catching bottom layer of pants. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you. This is a great video for newbies to visible mending (which is what I thought this was until I saw last week's Great British Sewing Bee). I'll try this technique on some lovely old Carharrt jeans I've cut down to shorts. I'd like to see him mending his T shirt as I have multiple Armor Lux breton shirts that are fraying, although not as dramatically!

    Fine for a rough pair of jeans but maybe different method needed for a smarter finish. Lots of videos online with ideas. Real sashiko method quite complicated and time consuming. Don't think this is sashiko but thanks anyway. Nice to see a guy sewing his clothes all the same.

    • @thomashongshagen4912
      @thomashongshagen4912 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      you are right, proper sashiko, while extremely diverse in patterns and applications, is characterised by its continuous lines of running stitches. The example in the video looks more like a whipstitch.

    Hi! I"m swedish and beginner in learning sashiko. Just saw a japanese comment on appropriation regarding sashiko. Naturally, japanese are happy that their culture heritage gets attention. What hurts their feeling, and would hurt mine if it was a swedish traditions, is when someone puts rhemselfs out as "expert", or "master". Someone else can say that you are master, not you yourself. Secondly you have not taken the time or respect to learn and use proper sashiko stiches. I feel this us offensive even if I am not japanese. You should know better.

    • @download333
      @download333 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sashiko thread is usually made from 4-6 strands of thinner weight thread twisted together, but you can substitute embroidery floss. You can also make your own using a few strands of any thread laid together. The important part is that it's thick enough to take the strain of the patch and to be visible when used decoratively.

    So the most simple and ugly darning method gets a name as if that person invented it. Like when you put an asian name into a method, somehow it becomes "clever". that is the ugliest patch method anyone could ever think of. The "Japanese mending technique", yeah the one 1st grade elementary school kids would probably think of when they never touched a needle and a thread before!

      @KaiSan3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      sashiko is indeed the name of an "embroidery" way of mending and reinforcing fabric, but this is *deffinitively* not it.
      when he started stitching and I saw what he was doing I got sad, because real sashiko is beautiful and gives an amazing geometrical effect to the fabric, no matter if you do sekigahara, asanoha, or any of the other patterns (some are even very intricate, like cherry blossoms or dragonflies, in order for people to match the colorful patterns of feminine kimonos with the white thread on dark background of male kimonos, and stuff)
