@bammerlaan@pixey.org @sewing Further process pictures of the thrilling development of this #sashiko patch pocket. Doing this on the train to and from a Groningen concert turned out to be a good activity.

The back of #hitomezashi sashiko is supposed to look as neat as the front, with the excess thread tucked between two layers of fabric. I don't have two layers of fabric, but you'll only see the front, anyway. So 🤷

Another picture of the fabric, now with more completed crosses.
A piece of fabric with sashiko-style embroidery on it. Crosses have been made by overlapping thread with existing lines.
The back of the piece of fabric. There's also crosses, but also loose pieces of thread that have been knotted.

Here is the quilt I just finished, titled 'Because She Changes', inspired by the monumental public sculpture 'She Changes', by Janet Echelman, in Matosinhos, Portugal.

Selvedge denim both sides
Vintage silk embroidery threads
Cotton sashiko threads
Red linen border

2m x 1.5m

Every stitch hand-sewn.

A large quilt of blue denim with sashiko-style imagery. A background of white and blue lines, running in different directions in different parts of the quilt. The centre is four interlinked circles in shades of red and orange, from 70cm across to 20cm across. They are segmented (24ths) and some segments are filled with sashiko patterns. A different pattern in each segment. Above right of the circles is an area of pale purple/rose stitching resembling a whispy cloud. At top right there is a moon, 3/4 full, with 'realistic' surface details based on moon maps'. Near bottom right is an abstract pattern in pale blue representing mist. Bottom left is a series of classical sashiko waves in white. The quilt has a narrow red border

A new patch with #hitomezashi #sashiko #embroidery gives old jeans new life. On the left, the weave of the silk has an array of tiny hexagons, which I used as a grid for the three sets of parallel stitching lines. On the right, the weave in the silk patch has a square grid that I used for two sets of parallel stitching lines. I don’t bother to finish the edges of the patch. Instead, I pull off the loose threads until it stops unraveling. After each wash, I might have to trim some more loose threads, but eventually it’s pretty stable from all of the embroidery.

Two photos of large rectangle patches on jeans. The left one has equilateral triangles and other shapes with 60 and 120 degree angles. The right patch has squares and other shapes with 90 degree angles.
