This heat is really getting to me – and it is not as hot as in Texas or Florida, and we certainly don’t get the humidity, either. But, I have been staying inside or going to places I know with air conditioning – heat has always not been my best of friends.
Given that there is only so much you can do lounging around a house, it can be good to just watch a movie or show and do something a bit creative. As the sashiko has been ignored, I figured today would be a good time to do some. The same denim as Sashiko #1-5 was ironed and starched, and a grid laid out.
If you look, you will see that the intersections are little + signs, and then there is one stitch in between each plus sign. I am not sure where I am going to go next, but I have a few ideas. The other question is what color thread or threads? I am not quite sure what I have – maybe a pink or bright green against the denim? Not sure.
Anyway, below is the reverse side, just because it is so interesting. Oh, I was going to do the stitching on the reverse, but with the plus signs, my mind was not cooperating, so that will be for a simpler project.

Very neat. Pink would be nice 🙂
Like you, Fraggy, my thoughts, too, are aiming toward pink – but do I have any pink sashiko thread? I could make my own by stranding together a lot of plain cotton thread. I need to check the sashiko thread stash – which is 100% cotton, while my sewing thread is not.
You picked my favorite color to stitch with–red! Love it!!
Glad you like it, Anne. Let’s see what pink might do . . .
Oh, that’s my least favorite color. But, I bet you’ll do great with it.
Pink is not a favorite color of mine, either, Anne, but it does have its place. Here on a denim background, it looks better in real life than in the scan.
