  • Mending As Practice and Expression Pocosin Arts Online - August 2021 Material Suggestions
    Mending as Practice and Expression Pocosin Arts Online - August 2021 Material Suggestions I want this experience to ft with what you have on hand and what you want to learn! I will link to sources of some supplies I like below, but there is no need to purchase anything unless you want to and think you will use it. You can also check the links to compare supplies to those you may already have. And of course you can get supplies anywhere you like. The most important thing you will need is some fabric scraps or worn-out textles to practce mending on (not your absolute favorite thing to start with). There are two broad categories of fabrics, based on how they are made; woven (like jeans, dress shirts, and sheets) and knited (like sweaters, socks, and T-shirts). We will talk a lot more about these in class. Each type lends itself to somewhat diferent tools and techniques. If you can, I encourage you to fnd a few scraps of each type to practce on, ideally in fabrics that are similar to the items you want to mend. These will also be a good source of material to cut patches from. I will be in touch before our class starts to fnd out about the projects you want to work on. For now, here are some general suggestons of materials and tools you may want to have on hand. In the meantme, feel free to contact me with any questons! [email protected] Threads You may want to use anything from sewing thread to wool yarn in your mending, depending on what you want to fx.

  • What Is Sashiko?
    What is Sashiko? Sashiko is a form of embroidery that originated in Japan around 200 years ago. It was used to repair and bulk up clothing, blankets, and other textiles for the cold weather as many regions of the country experienced frigid winters. As such, the focus was less on what the work looked like, and more on how quickly it could be made. Today, Sashiko has become a form of decorative embroidery enjoyed by many people around the world. Traditional patterns are still practiced among modern ones. However, the root of Sashiko remains the same: it doesn’t have to be perfect as long as you enjoy doing it. A jacket embroidered all over with Sashiko patterns from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collections. A closeup of a kimono with Sashiko detailing from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collections. Sashiko Project by Aya Kusumoto Instructions for Sashiko on paper Step 1 - Fold along the solid black line in the middle. Step 2 - Take your thread and fold it in half, then thread the folded end through the needle. This is called double-threading. You can single thread your needle instead but you will be able to see the pattern more clearly the thicker the thread is. Tie a double knot at the end. Step 3 - Start wherever you want on your pattern with the printed side facing up. The printed side will become the back with the knots. Pierce your needle through one end of a stitch, then without fully pulling your needle through, push it back up through the other end of the stitch.

  • BL2102 February 2021
    Blackwork Journey Blog, February 2021 Looking forward in 2021 and beyond! February is a difficult month in the UK, as although Christmas is behind us, Spring still seems a long way away. However, for the first time in a year there are some positive things to report. The vaccines are being rolled out and there is hope that we can start to see a way forward and begin to look, albeit tentatively, to the future. Sashiko and quilted Phoenix project This design was my way of saying that there is a way forward out of Covid-19 into a new future, like the mythical bird who rose from the ashes, reborn, stronger and more powerful. In Japan, as earlier in China, the Phoenix was adopted as a symbol of the imperial household, particularly the Empress. This mythical bird represents fire, the sun, justice, obedience and fidelity. The Asian Phoenix is different from the Phoenix found in Egypt and Greece and is a bird of completely different feathers and traditions. The ornamental design of the Dragon (Emperor) and Phoenix (Empress) on the doors of the Hall of Heavenly and Terrestrial Union, Beijing, China A phoenix depicted in a book of legendary creatures by FJ Bertuch (1747–1822) Presidential standard of Greece 1 Blackwork Journey © Blackwork Journey Blog, February 2021 The Phoenix from Greek mythology was a feathered creature of great size with large wings and talons, its plumage vibrant and beautiful. It is still used today as the emblem on the Presidential standard of Greece. The Phoenix lived for 500 years before it built its own funeral pyre, burst into flames and died, consumed in its own fiery inferno..
