I'm going to embroider ASCII art and call it "bashiko"

@vicgrinberg Not linen, but #silk: I have one silk shirt and I recently applied #sashiko to it, with an iron-on repair patch on the back. I think it came out well and it's held tight, so far.

@vicgrinberg I would put a large patch of a similar texture over or under it and run a #sashiko stitch over the whole size of the patch (or even an area larger than the patch).

The stitch is just a very simple running stitch

By starting the rows like this

and then adding orthogonal rows of stitches, nice patterns emerge.

Nachdem Mamas Stopfgarn nicht mit der Belastung klar kam (Pilling bis Fadenbruch), nochmal neues (unauffÀlliges) #visiblemending mit einem festeren und farblich passenden Jersey und Garn von der Schwiegermutter in DDR-QualitÀt.

Was tut man nicht alles fĂŒr Lieblingshosen

@writerethink because of how large the thinned area is, I'd be inclined to patch it. If you're keen on #visiblemending then a contrast colour swatch on the inside and #sashiko to hold it all together. Otherwise I'd suggest using your leftover fabric to fully cover the thinned area and just stitch it down at the edges.

Och plötsligt var det vÄr och varmt och shortsen skulle fram! Jag har ett par linneshorts, 3/4 byxor som jag Àlskar, men som vid en liten olycka för nÄgra Är sedan fick ett hÄl vid knÀt. Det har av nÄgon anledning tagit emot lite att laga det, kanske för att det pÄminner mig om skadan i knÀt som jag helst vill glömma.
Men hursom, nu var det varmt ute och shortsen behövdes lagas lite snabbt...
Lite snabbt... Àr kanske inte rÀtt ord. Det Àr varken litet (hÄlet Àr tumnagel stort och lappen 10x10 cm) eller snabbt, men bra blev det.
FrÄn och med nu Àr detta ett boro- projekt dÀr det kommer att komma fler lappar.

English:
And suddenly it was spring, and the warmth told me it was about time to bring out the shorts! I have a pair of linen shorts—three-quarter length trousers—that I love, but after a small accident a few years ago, they got a hole at the knee. For some reason I’ve been a bit reluctant to fix it, maybe because it reminds me of the knee injury I’d rather forget.

Anyway, now it’s warm outside and the shorts needed a small and quick repair

“Small and quick” might not be the right words tho. It’s neither small (the hole is about the size of a thumbnail and the patch is 10×10 cm) nor fast - but it turned out well.

From now on, this is a boro project, and more patches will be added.

From European fashion houses to content creators, everyone is talking about "sashiko" — traditional Japanese needlework. But a new book from a third-generation artisan asks the world to remember the craft's https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/05/02/style-design/sashiko-needlework-new-book-traditional-craft/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #styledesign #sashiko #japanesecrafts #books
‘Sashiko’ needlework artisan says craft is about 'the stories behind the stitching'

In a new book, a third-generation craftsman explores how the origins of his art are at risk of being lost in an upswell of popularity.

Hola, soy celi :)

Me dedico a cosas teatrales varias, dibuixo i hago #collage (aunque menos de lo que me gustaria) y me sumerjo, intermitentemente, en la costura.

M'encanta arreglar coses, de tot tipus, perĂČ el meu coneixement habita mĂ©s el mĂłn fĂ­sic que el digital.

Las redes privativas nunca me resultaron agradables, perĂČ hay cosas que recibĂ­a de ellas que no quisiera perder: comunidad y acciĂłn colectiva, descubrir artistas varios de los que me inspiro un montĂłn, y en los Ășltimos meses patrones de #sashiko (que fantasĂ­a). Ah! i recomanacions de pelis i mĂșsica.

También me apasiona mi gata Pimienta y anarquistear por ahí.

Postejo dibuixets a pixelfed: @[email protected]

JournĂ©e Fibre Textile du groupe Haut de France. Boro et sashiko au programme. Encore une belle journĂ©e d’autoformation, de franches rigolades agrĂ©mentĂ©es de pĂątisseries maison, tarte au maroille et autres lactofermentations.
CloĂ©, que je n'avais pu voir depuis le dĂ©but de l’annĂ©e, m’a remis mon swap. Une pochette brodĂ©e avec le point de Bayeux. Une allĂ©gorie de ma petite personne au jardin, paraĂźt-il...
Je suis encore tout ému de tant de beauté
