Severija - Home page. Sashiko: What visible mending means to crafters. When Jessica Marquez’s boyfriend ripped his favorite jean jacket, he asked if she could fix it. Marquez, a “visible mending” maker, teacher, and author, began researching hand-embroidery techniques she could use to fix the rip. She came upon sashiko, a Japanese mending technique involving a running stitch and geometric patterns. As she practiced, she realized that she wanted to start using the same technique on her own clothes. A favorite pair of jeans now has four mends, each rip patched up with darker denim and beautiful square fields of bright white cross-stitching. For Marquez, visible mending “becomes a means of self-expression.” In mending an item of clothing in a highly visible style, she can turn a rip into a personal piece of art. In this way, visible mending is the antidote to fast fashion. A museum show is one way of highlighting that, and visible mending provides a way to do the same in day-to-day life.
Marquez makes sure to emphasize this history in her teaching as well. Japanese Embroidery: It's cherry blossom time. Video: How to Sew a Couching Stitch.

Bride Embroidered Love Story on Wedding Dress | POPSUGAR Fashion Australia. Plays With Needles: Tambour Beading Masterclass. One of my absolute favorite blog posts of all time on my own blog was this one...and it's because it speaks to my lifetime hope and dream of traveling to Paris to study at the L'Ecole Lesage to learn haute couture embroidery techniques. Many of these techniques involve a certain type of embroidery using a tambour hook...often referred to as Broderie de Luneville and worked with the back of the embroidery facing up and the beads/sequins being threaded from underneath. So, while I wait to gather the time and resources for my dream trip, I have been on the hunt to find a tambour work teacher here in the States, contacting Lacis and following down many leads to no avail.
That's until my beading friend, Dot aka SpeedieBeadie, wrote on a list that she was attending a Tambour Beading Masterclass in June. What? Who? Where? Work in progress -- Bob Haven Dot led me to Robert Haven who is a costume technologist, Associate Professor of Costume Technology at the University of Kentucky. Is it June yet? Basque stitch in Sharon B's Dictionary of Stitches for Hand Embroidery and Needlework. Previous | Next Basque stitch is also known as twisted daisy border stitch. As the name suggests, this stitch is found on old embroideries from the Basque area of northern Spain. Embroideries from Portugal and southern France also make use of this stitch. Basque stitch creates a line of twisted loops which looks good on a curved line.
Work this stitch over two imaginary lines. Bring the thread out on the upper line, insert the needle in position on the lower line making a straight downward motion and take the thread across the needle then loop the thread under the needle point. Pull the needle through the fabric to form a twisted loop. Take the needle through the fabric and repeat this process along the line. Worked in a circular manner this stitch forms floral shapes which means it can be used to pattern areas. Basque stitch worked in two lines back to back can look like stems of leaves which makes it useful for floral patterns and motifs.
