The Japanese sewing technique sashiko is based on simple stitches that have traditionally been used to repair clothes and textiles in more or less advanced patterns. In Laga med sashiko, you will learn how to repair shirts, jeans and socks with inspiration from various sashiko techniques such as hitomezashi and moyozashi. You will also learn how to sew a bodoko - a type of Japanese patchwork quilt to hang on the wall or use as a blanket.
Takao "Momi" Momiyama is a master in the martial art of iaido and began his repair journey when he needed to repair his training socks, tabi, in the 1980s. We take a deep dive into Momi's archive and take a closer look at garments that he has repaired continuously for 40 years. The garments bear witness to a constant cycle of wear and repair and show that mending can either be simple and functional or become a beautiful decoration.
Kerstin Neumüller loves to delve into different crafts. In Laga med sashiko she is responsible for the narration, but also contributes her own mending. Kerstin has previously written A handbook on indigo, Patched & mended, Simple weave and Everyday crafts.

Den japanska sömnadstekniken sashiko bygger på enkla stygn som traditionellt har använts för att laga kläder och textilier i mer eller mindre avancerade mönster. I Laga med sashiko får du bland annat lära dig att laga skjortor, jeans och strumpor med inspiration av olika sashikotekniker som hitomezashi och moyozashi. Du får också lära dig att sy en bodoko - en typ av japanskt lapptäcke att hänga på väggen eller använda som filt.
Takao "Momi" Momiyama är mästare inom kampsporten iaido och började sin lagningsresa när han behövde laga sina träningsstrumpor, tabi, på 1980-talet. Vi gör en djupdykning i Momis arkiv och tittar närmare på plagg som han har lagat kontinuerligt under 40 års tid. Plaggen vittnar om en ständigt pågående cykel av slitage och reparation och visar att en lagning antingen kan vara enkel och funktionell eller bli en vacker utsmyckning.
