When a Sashiko project means hours and hours of sewing, a good posture is key. Here is mine. What is yours?

My very first stitches. My consistency is awful, none of my corners line up. I have the wrong floss and needles. But it's a start, right? :D

Fixed a new home in my jeans knee. Tried to do a Flower of Life. It was a bit harder to freehand than I thought and turned out a bit sloppy. But, I guess it's nice enough.

After using embroidery thread for a few years now, finally decided to make the leap to dedicated sashiko thread. So excited!

My second attempt at sashiko from the other day! Sadly, the linen warped a lot after washing, so my beautiful, straight lines aren't really all that straight anymore. Bonus reverse side shot.

Hi everyone! 👋 I made a patchwork block that I want to turn into a wallet for my friend ( It was her birthday a few days ago) and I just wanted to share my progress with you all so far. 😊

Ok, first go at a pattern. When you are working a grid how to you avoid crossing stitches? Do you work ‘inside’ the grid lines one direction and ‘outside’ they on the other direction? Or do you just stop short of the corner both direction?

Trying to make a Kapital Inspired Apron! (Need Help)————— I’ve been working on a apron for a couple days and just wanted to see if anyone had advice on how to get the yellowing effect on fabrics. I’ve already tried tea and coffee staining and none of it works.

I got a book on sashiko & some necessary tools for Christmas, I only just started practicing my running stitch but this is my progress so far. I had a random quilting square lying around so that's what I chose to practice with first.

I was hoping someone could help me find more thread like this- it was an unlabeled spool that I got second hand. I just finished the last of it and I can’t seem to find the right way to go about getting more like it. I didn’t just use it for sashiko, I used it for all sewing repairs bc it was tough!

Anyone else use non-traditional thread? This is vintage Coats Extra Glace I had lying about and used for a few jeans repairs - the coating makes it really nice to work with and it reads white on denim.
