伝統的な繕い

最近私の好きなシャツに穴が開いているか気が付いて、どうしようかと考えています。サステナブルな服に気になっているなので、裁縫や刺繡の仕方を勉強しようと思って、「刺し子」という技を見つけました。服を補強するための技で、伝統的に青い布と白い糸は幾何模様とともに、著しい縫い目を作っています。江戸時代にさかのぼって、元来農家の服に見えていたようだ。私は刺し子の仕方を勉強したいけど、縫ったことがないから難しすぎるかと思います。

Recently I noticed that one of my favorite shirts has a hole in it, so I thought about what to do. I've been interested in sustainable clothes, so I decided to learn about sewing and embroidery and found a technique called "Sashiko." It's a technique to reinforce clothes, and with traditionally blue cloth and white thread, along with geometric patterns, it created striking stitching. It seems like it can be traced back to the Edo period, and was originally seen on farmer's clothes. I want to learn how to do it, but since I've never sewn before I think it might be too hard.
