It is true that people used Sashiko to mend garment/fabric. So, mending itself is an important part of Sashiko. However, I do not often have a mending project myself. In this society, the opportunity of “mending” does not happen so much. Cutting a piece off from a pair of pants, and then putting the patch with hand-stitching may look like Sashiko (and be defined as Sashiko), but I would say, it is not following the spirit of Sashiko – to appreciate the fabric.

I usually do not have this “big hole” to mend as the photo shows. I would usually mend it way before the hole becomes this big. This hole was made by accident (that I introduced in the Live Streaming). It was my mistake, and I feel sorry for the fabric – but the only way to recover my mistake is to fix and reuse it again. This is a rare mending Sashiko project with this big hole, and I decided to broadcast most of the procedure without any editing on Live Streaming. I don’t know if I would like the result, but I am definitely enjoying the process of “SUPER thick” layers of fabric.

英語で配信しているのに日本語で叫びたくなるほど、固い刺し子になりました。デニム一枚で固かったのだから、そこで熟考して違う布を準備する等すれば良かったのですが、危機察知能力が抜けてました。目の詰まったチノパンとデニムの2枚重ねはクソ固いです。

それでも久々に補修刺し子ができるなぁと楽しみながらやっております。英語版の配信でご紹介しているので、良かったら御覧ください。あまり日本語で「刺し子＆デニム補修」をしている人は見かけないので、今流行になっている英語圏に向けて、思いとかを伝えていけたらなぁと思っています。ほんとは、こういう穴が開く前に刺し子するのが良いんですけどね。今回は僕のミスでズボンに穴を開けてしまったので、こういうプロジェクトになりました！
