Komezashi, meaning rice stitch, is a pattern that symbolizes a wish for a rich harvest and abundance. The name comes from the stitch’s appearance, which looks like the kanji character for rice. It is an additional step from the Jujuzashi stitch, adding diagonal lines to the pattern.

Jujuzashi means '10 cross stitch', as the crossing of the lines resembles the kanji character for 10. By sewing over the weft and warp of the fabric, the textile is strengthened and is a wonderful way to decoratively mend clothing. The pattern symbolizes prosperity as it is ever expanding.

A lovely afternoon at Watanabe’s Tokushima. I am grateful for their sharing of tradition & history of Aizome, their sukumo indigo farm and processing tour, & an immersive experience with new friends. I dyed a shibori piece I prepared & left with a stunning textile, joyful smile, & stained hands.

This beautiful Taka Ishii Shibori 04 pattern was learned with love from awonoyoh 💕 I decided to use a large piece of linen for this project, which was a fun and worthwhile challenge.

2 different ways of dyeing with fresh Indigo. A: blended Indigo with ice water & then strained. B: Indigo leaves (whole), salt, & minimal ice water. Massaged linen with mixtures for 10 minutes & then oxidized for 5. Method A gave a greenish tone, B gave a blueish tone #naturaldye #Indigo

Preparing linen strips for Indigo dyeing. This baby lock (permanently ‘borrowed’ from my husband 😅) has been one of the most helpful tools in my studio.
