    The round patch reminds me of fireworks, or a blue cupcake with many beautiful sprinkles!

    I'm in the process of repairing slash mending a quilt. There is one particular fabric color that is just literally disintegrating, of which I am replacing that fabric. But as I'm putting in the new fabric I am noticing small holes tears wear out spots in other parts of the quilt, and I was wondering in my mind how I was going to fix all of these without having to tear the entire quilt apart... Must be Providence that I came across your video. I will definitely be looking at doing some repairs after I'm done with the big part using your method. Thank you so much for your videos and your inspiration. Subscribed❤

    Very exciting. Nice ideas. I've had a nasty hole in my parka sleeve and keep thinking what to use then how. Lining too. Oven melted it when I took out pizza. I'm going to do a round sushiki. Pleasant music.

      Thank you😊 This is my favourite way of applying a patch. I recently mended another tea towel with a fish-shaped patch too if you’re interested⬇️

    I love the idea of using sashiko for visible mending, but is there a filling stitch in sashiko? It seems like in order to fill a hole, one would need to use a piece of fabric over the hole and reinforce it with sashiko stitches.

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  Год назад +4

      Very interesting question! I’m not sure if there is a filling stitch. In the old days (hundreds years ago), fabric was precious and ordinary people such as farmers couldn’t afford to buy new ones. So they often got clothes which were already worn and old and mended with patches using also old cloths they had (tattered clothes ended up with so many patches are called Boro). So I assume ‘filling a hole’ was not enough to mend and reinforce them.
      But if I find a filling stitch I will let you know!

      Hi, I used Sashiko threads. Sashiko was originally used as a method to mend and reinforce fabrics, so Sashiko threads are perfect for this purpose😊🧵🪡

    This is so well done - thank you. I have started to darn woollen items, but will now be getting my tea towels out too. Can I ask you, where you get your multi-coloured thread from? Best wishes from Suffolk.

    Hi! Just a question, if I'm trying to mend a sweater does it have to be done with yarn, or can i just use thread?

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  11 месяцев назад

      Personally, I have never tried Sashiko or other types of patching, but I’ve seen people mend knit wear with thread and a patch in a similar way to what I did in this video. Also, you can use British darning method with yarn😊

    I tried following along with your video, but found that the tail ends of the threads would keep poking out of the front, and I'm worried that they'll come undone since they seem to be moving.. not sure what I did wrong. 😔 Maybe my thread is too thin? Is that a possibility? I only have some very fine thread that I doubled up.

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  6 месяцев назад +1

      I wonder why that’s happening…
      As the layers of the fabrics are very tightly stitched together, the end of the thread should be held tightly between the layers. I’ve washed them many times now and they are still intact.
      I often use this method for Sashiko and the ends of thread stay between the layers too. When I do it with Sashiko, I run the ends of thread between the layers for 2-3cm.
      Maybe you can try to run it for a longer distance?
      I’m not sure if you can apply these but I will put the link about starting and finishing without knots here⬇️

  • @janhulse9518
    @janhulse9518 Месяц назад

    yes,it looks very trendy and all BUT not practical.those pieces will fray when washed. so it only has borrowed time before it becomes even more tatty. then people look down their noses at you as if you are a street bum.

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  Месяц назад +4

      I used an idea from a Japanese sewing book which is more than one hundred years old. It’s called Sashi-tsugi (though I tweaked it a bit). In Japan, fabrics were very precious so we had to mend and keep using even when they got a hole. So, indeed, it’s not stylish fashion, but a spirit of looking after materials and extending their life😊

      Is it badly damaged? We often turn an old tenugui into a Zokin😊🧵🪡

      Not really bad, a hole about 1.25x3cm, and quite cute to turn to Zokin so early 🥲

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  Год назад

      Do you have some Sarashi? Sarashi is the material for tenugui so you can patch it without loosing the softness. Otherwise, some soft muslin or double gauze may be good for a patch.
      If the hole is near one of the short edges, you can just cut off the damaged part and use it as a shorter piece of tenugui.
      I hope it helps❤️

    • @lainpadang8033
      @lainpadang8033 Год назад

      - I don't have Sarishi 😢 and don't know where to get one. I wanted to buy some so that I can make sarishi tea towels like the ones you made 😊. Maybe next time when I go to Japan (again) 🤗.
      - I can't do the second option either, as the whole tenugui theme is 3 cats playing with yarns, they cover the whole tenugui from top to bottom 😅
      - Because I don't have double gauze/muslin of the same colour, do you think single gauze will work, or is it too thin to be used as patch?

    • @thegreenwrapper
      @thegreenwrapper  Год назад

      @lainpadang8033 The patch itself is to help close the hole and the stitches will reinforce the surrounding area. So I think single gauze (possibly two layers) will do if you stitch enough.
      But I haven’t tried it before, so I’m not 100% sure. I would try with something soft first, and add more patches if it’s not enough.
      You can patch it on the back (though many of them are hard to tell which is the right side).
      Thank you so much for asking me this question. I really enjoy thinking about the solution together😊
