in Germany the stitch is called Hexenstich, which translates into witches stitch. - I wear a blue coverall when doing all the gardening and "tool-works" around the house. One of the knees was worn through..... I fixed it with the "star"-Sashiko (can't remember what you called it). It looks lovely now and everybody comments on it, as it is obviously very bright and white and striking. 😊
That sounds amazing😊 I wonder if the pattern is Asanoha? Thank you for sharing the name in German! I really enjoy hearing about different countries and cultures 💕💕
My pleasure and thank you! I have checked now, it was from your coaster making series Part 5 and you called it "the flower pattern with Hitomezashi technique". It has been a long time that I had so much fun with needle and thread - so again: thank you my dear.
I say as part of the experiment, ask your husband to wear them for DIY around the house. See how the stitching actually holds up. You'll be proud that he can still wear them and he won't feel badly about ruining another pair. ;)
Sewing that cross stitch to close up the seam was such an excellent idea. I must remember that!!!! These pants are better than they were before, what a great job of executing this project. Congratulations my friend!👋👋👋👋
I was surprised too! I didn’t want to warp the fabric by closing up properly as it had lost some yarn already. The experimental idea worked well😊 Thank you for always commenting on my videos💕💕 I really enjoy this weekly exchange! Have a nice week👍
i get what you mean about getting carried away. it’s kind of hypnotic once you get going. Beautiful results, and it does resemble the donza i’ve seen in museums. i usually hear the stitch you couldn’t name in english called “herringbone stitch” or more rarely “cross-stitch” but the later gets confusing with the embroidery style of the same name.
Oh, have you seen them in person?😍😍 I’m so jealous💕💕 Thanks for the name for the stitch! I struggle finding those names. In Japan, I think it used to be used for hem😊
What serendipity! I have a pair of overalls with almost the exact same type of tear. I was trying to decide if I could patch them, and now I feel like I can!
Incredible! Once again you have inspired me! I have a few laundry bags with tears in them that I want to mend because I’d like to use them. Now I know what to do!
these came out so cool! Ive been meaning to try sashiko for a while. Also, the stitch you used in the beginning is called a herringbone stitch in english (:
That is an absolutely gorgeous garment! As the white stitches soften with age, it’s going to look so beautiful - and it’ll be so hard wearing. I think they very much live up to the origins of sashiko. Definitely something I’d like to emulate
Really lovely to watch you repair these trousers. I'm really enjoying stitching on my thrifted jacket which was inspired by your work...I'm hoping I can improve my beginner technique too... I think you should cover the whole trousers! I'm going to be covering the whole of my jacket! Thank you for the inspiration!
Très beau et minutieux travail. J'aime beaucoup le sashiko, non seulement il renforce le tissu de base mais en plus ce ou ces points sont très décoratifs. 👍💙🙋♀️
Watching you actually stitch shows clearly how you manipulate the point of the needle to make regular patterns, rows etc. thank you for excellent video. I went on a local course for beginners many years ago. You’ve given me the itch to do something constructive. Love your patterns. ❤🇬🇧
I was not sure if it was clear, as I was only focusing on shooting the process but not the stitching. I’m glad it was clear enough😊 It was really fun to stitch without worrying about the result so much👍
it looks sooooo nice! ❤ your channel has made me want to pick up sashiko again. The part of the video where you ask if you should remove the reflective tape, it made me think that the reflective strips say something about the wearer in the same way that the different sashiko patterns do. (Fisherman, warrior, merchant...) The tape says "This guy works outside at night sometimes, please watch out!" So i would be in favor of keeping it :) Thank you for sharing your sashiko practice with everyone
Use dye. It will freshen the original color and make the stitching less obvious. Then perhaps the husband won't mind wearing the pants. They are perfectly usable now thanks to your efforts.
I think it could look nice to keep the reflective strips without stitching as a small section that acts as a "rest" for the eyes. But definitely stitch the rest of the pants - these are gorgeous!
It is exquisite. I think you should use it as a practice piece and continue working on it. For example, what would you do with the light strips? The trousers can be a demonstration and teaching item. Congrats! It is too good to be used for its original purpose now.
Would a strong piece of cardboard the shape of the leg help. Slotted into the leg to separate the fabric and keep it flat? Or would it interfere with the Sashiko stitching?
I think it helps when you patch the leg. For Sashiko, I personally prefer not to have anything inside of a leg so that I can easily scrunch up the fabric with my left hand. It really depends on how you stitch I think😊
Thanks for this great video. It turned into an exciting project didn't it! I think if they were my trousers, I'd crop them. Sashiko all down one leg, then use sashiko as embellishments on the other leg (eg. On the pockets and hem) -and then see. Covering the trousers entirely with sashiko might be too much, but the contrast might work! (And if it doesn't, you can just keep stitching!)
Maybe I should start stitching my own jeans! Sometimes those practice pieces end up better than my actual projects😂 Anyway, I shouldn’t leave this one as it is!
See if they can be taken in or resized for someone who would wear them. I think it is fairly easy to make the waist a little smaller and shorten them. Making them bigger looks pretty tricky. Although I've seen videos where they did.
How long approximately did you finish it? Did it take more than 10 hours? 4:52 The decorative parts made of holbein, running, and ermine stitch are really beautiful. In the last one, the running stich looks almost like satin stitch. The technique is very creative. Would never thought about it.
Hi! I’m not sure how long it took to finish this as I didn’t do it in one go, but I’d say the stitching part itself was probably around or under 10 hours. It really depends on your skill level of Sashiko. I’d recommend practicing on a smaller piece of fabric first if you haven’t tried Hitomezashi before😊
They were for fixing our own house. As he didn’t want to damage his favourite denim, he bought them specifically for those DIY jobs. On the other hand, I was not clever enough to know that and made some tear and paint marks on my jeans…I suppose I have some more mending jobs🤔
I’m interested I your pattern book. Did you draw those patterns yourself or is it a book of patterns you bought? If it’s your own a tutorial on making a reference pattern book would be nice. Love your work and videos.
In this video, I was looking at my notebook I drew by myself and a scrapbook which has some images and articles I collected from online resources. Here’s a video showing where I get some ideas for Sashiko patterns⬇️💕💕 My Sashiko inspiration sources - This is how I make my Sashiko patterns. th-cam.com/video/RnEOFTVoWKA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you💕💕 I didn’t use knots for stitching this time. Also, I wanted to keep the needle outside of the leg because the leg area was narrow. So I started stitching from the right side and kept the ends of thread. Eventually, the thread would run through the fabric like woven in, so it wouldn’t come off easily even without knots. I cut all the ends after stitching. I hope it makes sense😊
This is SO incredible and beautiful. That sugizashi pattern is gorgeous, definitely going to try that one myself. What is the first stitch called in Japanese?
Thank you💕💕 I think the name of the stitch (the one I used to close the tear) is called ‘Chidori gake’ (chidori means little birds) and it’s used for hem. Usually, the stitch is finer so it’s not so visible from the other side.
@@thegreenwrapper Thank you so much!! Also, do you know any other name for the sugizashi, or know the kanji for the first part? I can't find any info online about the pattern
Hi! Where or which brand you can get those tools from may be different depending on where you live, but I have a video that I showed the tools I’m currently using. I hope it helps😊 SASHIKO tools and materials I'm currently using - March 2024 - th-cam.com/video/0sILBEK9JvI/w-d-xo.html
Over the past couple of months I've lost count of how many hours I've spent on a pair of jeans that used to be my absolute favourites. I know I've used four different fabrics and at least 100 meters of thread and still not quite figured out the persimmon flower pattern. Oh also I'm not done yet 😂😂😂
Oh wow! I’d love to see the result! Have you watch the second video of these trousers? I’ve spend quite a lot of time but I’m not done yet either😅 Here’s the video⬇️ How much Sashiko can I stitch in two days? This is how it turned out! th-cam.com/video/wN3f9dhkQ3o/w-d-xo.html
Thank you😊 From my experience, drawing and stitching on an old garment is generally harder than stitching on a piece of fabric, as the shape odd and the material is slightly stretched. Also, stitching on a thicker material is a bit more challenging. Still, if you manage to draw an accurate pattern or a grid, it’s achievable. I personally don’t worry too much about the accuracy though😊
A lot of viewers have shared their projects to me by tagging me with @. I believe it should give me a notification but otherwise you can send the photos via DM😊 If I don’t respond after a few days, let me know about it in the comment section as sometimes I miss the notification.

This is so beautiful and your stitching is neat and tidy. I am going to try to do this on my favourite pair of Capri pants.
That’s a great idea! I wish I did it on my denim😂
The first stitch you used is called herringbone stitch in English.

Stunning! I think it'd be a waste to repurpose after your mending - better to wear it again.
Now I’m really tempted to keep going and stitch more patterns all over🤔

こんばんは😊
サムネを見た瞬間にカッコイイ!!とすぐに飛びつきました☆
実用的で且つ凄く素敵です❤杉刺しですか？それは知らなかったです。いーですね😊教えて欲しいです😊
後ろにもちくちくして、ご自身で履いては如何ですか？
大作になっちゃいますね🙌
うーん♪かっこいー☺♫
ありがとうございます！実用的な刺し子に最近惹かれています😊
杉刺しは元々は庄内さしこで、遊佐などで見られますが、淡路島のドンザでもよく見かけます。明治大正の頃の本には「柳刺し」と書いてあることもあるみたいです。
刺し方は自己流ですが、一目刺しの要領で一目置きに1列縦に刺して、次は針目を半分ずらしてまた同じように刺し、7列ごとに針目のずらし方を上下させました。糸をケチってしまいましたが、本当は2本取りで刺したほうが隣同士の目がくっついて、もっとすてきになると思います。
東北から淡路まで離れているのに、漁師の妻や母はどうやって緻密な刺し子を習得したのかなぁと思いを馳せながら刺しました。
@@thegreenwrapper
私も実用的な刺し子にしか興味が持てなくなり、以前ほどの頻度では刺してないのが実情です。それ程、モノに溢れているという事にもなりますね。…自分自身の問題もありますが😅
杉刺し/柳刺しですか。自分が勉強不足なだけで、ご存知な方からしたら当たり前の刺し方なんでしょうね。
ちょうど、ダブルガーゼのシャツを直そうと思っていたところなんです。刺し方も教わったのでやってみたいと思います😄
こういうのが楽しいですね♫有難うございます。
杉刺しは、布に厚みが出るので、おそらく補綴や補強にとても役立てられたのだろうなと感じます。手触りがたまらないのでぜひぜひ刺してみてください😊
遊佐の刺し子は橇曳き法被と呼ばれる、山から薪を橇に積んでひくための作業着を補強するための横刺し（あるいは縦）の美しい文様が多々あります。
でも、根気と技術のいる文様が多いですし、花ふきんのような薄手のものにはあまり合わないのかもしれません。だからあまり知名度が高くないのかもしれませんね。
