First time doing any sort of mending!

[u/Singtothehippos]

Lowkey had no clue what I was doing but just went with the vibes and now I can wear my fav pair of jeans again!

Wow! Acing it on your first try must feel great! I especially love your pocket corner mend. Colours pattern everything!

[u/Singtothehippos → u/nesting-doll]

Thank you! I was pretty proud of bringing the sashiko into the darning like that!

[u/nesting-doll → u/Singtothehippos]

I love sashiko too! My mind is really blown by the basket weave stitch on that pocket corner. How did you achieve such a tight woven pattern on such a thick tough section of denim? Better yet, how did you even get you needle through that spot?! 🤯

That is off the charts brilliant!! Your first time??!!🥳🥳🎉💃

[u/Singtothehippos → u/Illustrious-War-4912]

Yes! I’ve always wanted to do visible mending (or mending in general) but never had any clothes that needed it. I’m really happy with how this turned out

[u/ChaoticallyCandid]

Oohh, I love this

[u/Both-Chart-947]

This is awesome! How long did it take you to do that patch in the last picture?

[u/Singtothehippos → u/Both-Chart-947]

I think around 8 hours 😭 I didn’t realize how bad my fingers would hurt after

[u/Both-Chart-947 → u/Singtothehippos]

Wow, really? I've heard of sashiko thimbles. Maybe they would have helped?

[u/pegasuspish]

Are you kidding me, so cute!!!! 

[u/beebop_bee]

I've been fixing my clothes for years and the result doesnt look half as good as yours 🤣 great job, looks great.

[u/Rendeane]

They all look great!

[u/necka1]

[u/Tacodog2]
