About the final project for: Upcycling with Sashiko-Inspired Embroidery

Upcycling with Sashiko Stitching

“Now that we are at the end of the course, I hope you have enjoyed the journey. I want to thank you for getting this far and for spending your time with me. It's time to share your creations and show your project's progress. Comment on how you made it, discuss the challenges and difficulties you faced, and how you overcame them. In short, share your experience. I want your project to be different from mine. Repeat what I do to learn, but when making your project to publish, create something unique. This enriches our creative community. Gather your images and share your project by clicking the button "Create your project" . Your publication will become part of your portfolio on Domestika. Your portfolio is your showcase to the world to display your talent. Remember, explaining the project is crucial, not just showing photos. Here are some links to help you organize it: Support link 1 Support link 2 These are my recommendations: 1. Choose a garment to repair. 2. Select the materials you wish to use, considering the colors of the garment, patch, and thread. 3. Decide whether you want to put the fabric patch on the front or behind the fabric you will be mending. Please attach it to the fabric using safety pins. 4. Draw up your grid. 5. Decide which Sashiko stitch to create the mend, draw it on the fabric, and start stitching. 6. Wash your mended fabric. 7. Photograph it and share it with us in the community. 8. Enjoy wearing your newly mended garment. I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work. After all, we will help each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! See you in the forum!”

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you continue your sashiko stitching journey. Are you finding it hard to make time for your project on a daily basis?
