Sashiko... meaning literally little stabs, is a Japanese form of simple decorative stitching traditionally used to repair cloth, but often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery.
It's that time of year for gorgeous red stitching isn't it? I hope to be making some cream Christmas stockings with red blanket stitch next week. I've just got to make the time.

I love this pretty way of repairing and use it on jeans. I'm wondering if it might work on sweater elbows too?
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty decorative stitch. Really into decorative mending, so will maybe give it a go!
