Love, love this! I am still using the old cloth diapers I used when my daughter, now 57 years old, was a baby!!!

I am still using "Muslin" Diaper Squares that my father used, and they were fresh for each babe, to line the Baby Weigh Scales in his Pharmacy well over 60 years ago. Mum used to take the dirty ones home and wash them each night! Tea Towels; some of mine came from the shop, and I have Linen Sheets that date back to 1848 when a relative was wed! I still use them in high summer! My gran cut the most worn ones up and crochet fancy lace edgings onto the pieces sewn into Pillowcases! We are thrifty folks!

Schöne Idee. Auch Putzlappen dürfen schön sein! Ich besticke sie als Uebungsstück.,um bessere, gleichmässige Stiche zu machen. Und alte Tücher sind so gut zum putzen. Danke für die schöne Idee.

These look beautiful! I use old clothes as rags, but I don't normally sew the edges. This seems like it will help them survive washing better. Thank you!

I wish I'd known about this before I cut some ragged tea towels into stuffing ! thank you for this though ! I had a tee shirt that got a hole and had some cooking stains on it . I didn't want to donate it , instead I just turned it into a quilted hot pad/ cleaning rag thing with my sewing machine in 10 min. thank you for this low waste hack! #0waste #slowliving #upcycle !

Oh you have a lot of wonderful ideas about repurposing old materials😍😍

Thank you! I hope to try this. I'm just learning about Sashiko and slow stitching. Yours is one of the first channels I found. Many people also make what is called Family Cloth. I've made many of them and used for years. They can be used as washable toilet paper. But I only use them for pee. I've saved so much money.

This is so inspiring! Plus, it seems like the perfect opportunity to start trying out sashiko since I'm a total beginner. I do have one question though -- what type of thread would be best? I imagine it has to be on the stronger side since the cloth will be worked hard. Is cotton thread or cotton embroidery thread fine?

@thegreenwrapper

Thank you for the question😊 Sashiko threads are generally made strong enough for mending. Zokin gets squeezed and rubbed very often, so I would recommend stitching with double threads if you’re concerned. Still, I often use embroidery threads for Zokin as well. In that case, I’d recommend stitching with 4 strands. When I made this video, I also made a Zokin with 2 strands of embroidery threads. I’ve been using it constantly for more than a year now, and some of the threads have snapped. So, actually last week, I added some stitches along the snapped threads and now it’s as good as new👍 If you don’t have Sashiko threads, you don’t have to buy them yet. You can try with something you’ve already got too. If you are interested in threads for Sashiko, this may be interesting for you too⬇️ What is the best Sashiko thread? I stitched with 5 different types of threads to compare them kzread.info/dash/bejne/da6Ypq59crm2m84.html

Would thinner "Crochet Cotton" work? I see balls of that cheap in the thrifts all the time.

I am just stitching straight across and then back. How do you go to a new line?

@thegreenwrapper

If the next line is close to where you are at the moment, I would run the needle between the layers to the next line. If the next line is too far to do it, I would finish and cut the thread there, then start the new line. Here’s one of the videos I showed how I start and finish without knots.
